celegorm :i have also tried that it did not work
muz379: its the oldist version of windows xp however that is no longer the problem as i know why the drive is only that size i no longer have any OS installed and it is not possible for me to do so at the moment, the prob now is that i need to fix the boot sector
*edit* oh i think i see what you are getting at is it that a old version of windows xp would not that the right fixboot to work??
