yea thats what ive been thinking but i would need someone who knows what theyre doing slash professional because a really long time ago i thought it was a good idea to installl linux, then i decided i didnt like it and just like downloaded some random program that just deleted it off my pc, but the partition remained in limbo and it fucked up all my bios. thats why everytime i start up my computer it boots up to a gnu grub input screen and i enter:
unhide (hd0,0)
hide (hd0,1)
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
makeactive
boot
and i know that by heart now, its pretty much permanently engraved in my head since ive been doing it for around 3 years now. soooo... formatting my computer with all this unresolved shit and fucked up bios would probably lead to some even worse shit that i dont think i can get out of.
also i called it quits, since i really wanted sp2 to work i tried getting help from you guys to see if i could fix it but i started it up in safe mode and just restored to the point right before i installed sp2. sadface.
