This is an easy one.
Pull your important data off, if you haven't backed it up yet...And shame shame if you haven't backed your data up first thing!
Insert the Dell "recovery/restore" or whatever they call it now, reboot, and use the Dell restore cd to FORMAT that thing, and reinstall your apps!!!
You have tried several partitioning and repair proggies, which have only further gooned up your registry and drive for now. I have been through stuff like that DOZENS of TIMES, and the ONLY way to CLEAN IT UP is to FORMAT!!
I know it sounds drastic, but trying other proggies and disk repair/partitioning software will only confuse your PC more!
BTW, if you have a new, fast pc, with XP installed, there isn't really any reason to split that 80 gig into partitions...
Unless you want to be able to boot to 2 different OS's..
Trust me on this one, my friend!
