If your PC came with the two partitions, then most likely D is a restore partition. If this is the case and you change it, you may corrupt the system restoration options. If you have the Windows installation CD, then no problem. If this is not the case, and you feel brave, then you could use...

if that doesn't work, copy the files you do need, then reformat the flash drive.

If you are not stuck on being a windows user, then I say +1 for Linux Mint, or even Meego, but take a look at page 5 of this best Netbook Linux Distro article -- they chose JoliCloud.

Glad to know your problem is solved, even happier to know you recovered your data first! Some of those errors are highly suspect, as "cozone" said definitely do some diagnostics on the drive. As "carl6969" said, we are just happy to help!!! no rewards needed, but we'd happily accept a free...

XP came out in different versions. if you are lucky to find an "image" ('iso', 'bin', etc.) of XP on the internet (torrent), burn to cd, then use it with your legitimate "key" then it should still be legal. The cop should be able to do this also, without breaking laws. I think you could...

You could probably use Microsoft Virtual PC to create an empty .VHD, then use the Gizmo software i mentioned earlier. -- Let us know if it worked. A better solution might be a truecrypt drive. You could also try VSuite Ram Disk and configure it to save the ram disk (i.e. "enable image file").

In Windows i've always liked/used http://www.elby.ch/products/clone_dvd/manual/drive.html for ISO files. However I found http://arainia.com/software/gizmo/overview.php?nID=4 which can mount several formats including ISO, BIN, VHD, IMG, and more.
