Ok, I built my PC and installed what I thought was a legal copy of Win XP pro. Turned out it was a fake, no big deal. So I obtained a copy from my ork using their CD Key. Only problem is....I have a brand new 250 Gig drive and I just checked...it says that there are 111 gig being used already. Something is wrong. I tried to use the Win Xp install disk to reformat it, but I did not recover any space.
I beleive the problem is that the fake copy that was installed was a newer version of XP them my current CD. The fake version had SP2, where as my version from work did not have SP2 and I had to download it.
Is this the reason I cannot get rid of my old, crappy version of XP?
Is there a download out there that I can get to completely wipe out my hard drive? I want it to back to new, I don't care about any information on the HD as it is brand new
