Thanks KC, you helped get me off high center. Here is what I did in case someone else may be interested:
I went to Disk Mgmt. and deleted partitions in Disk 1 (40 gb Linux). Then I booted from A:\ with a Win 98 start disk and ran fdisk /mbr. Then the computer booted normally into Win XP.
I then went back to Disk Mgmt. and right clicked on Disk 1 and selected options to make it a formatted partition. It assigned a drive letter F:\ and now appears in My Computer.
I would prefer it to be D:\ and my CD's to be E:\ and F:\ but XP doesn't seem as user friendly to make changes to removeable drive letters as I remember Win 98 was. I will struggle with this one........even a blind hog finds an accorn now and then!! LOL
Thanks again for your help......I visit this forum often and I see you offer a lot of help to folks, thanks for all you do.
Charlie....
