Thanks for the help, I did get my Win 2000 partition back. But now I find that when I use the Internet Connection Wizard, I get all the way to the point where I am asked to give my connection a name, At this point it dosent matter what I type in forthe name, Win 2000 will not accept it. I keep getting an error message saying that " there has to be at least one character and I can not start with a period or a space. Is this a hiccup in the install or is there another way around this problem. I already tried to fix it with the set-up disk. Thanks for any and all help. Larry

yes its a doofy hiccup . . ive seen this happen before within xp recently where as it would'nt a user logoged on as the admin to enter a phone number for the internet configuration, . . i have also seen this within 98 many times. . it is as they say fubar'.. you could reinstall communications altogether,. . .or cancel out of the wizard and make the connectoid manually from dial-up/network connectons in the control panel.
