    Kay, i'm sure there is some obvious, simple to fix problem here, but i cant figure it out.

    A few weeks ago i formatted the c:\ partition of my M70, and installed XP pro on it(Transferring the license from my last laptop, a IBM T23, over to the M70) While doing that, i thought it would be a good idea to partition the drive so i could keep my media on one partition, and windows and the installed programs on the other. After a few days, and lots of tinkering, i just couldn't get the XP pro install to feel right even after installing *most* of the programs toshiba included in the XP home install...

    Anyway, heres the part that matters. When i went back to the recover disk XP home, my partitioning stayed that same(didn't expect it too, but am happy with it, and would prefer it over 1 big partition) When i tried to watch a movie through quickplay though, i got an error message saying my partitioning screwed it up.

    Can someone tell me what i need to do, to fix this? Do i need to merge the partitions? Or manage them differantly?

    Thanks
