I have question for this helpful thread. The promise of the PIII was to (also) improve voice recognition with software written for it. Dragon has received good reviews for its software but has not offered a PIII version. I need to buy a new computer soon and am leaning to a 450PIII with 256 RAM (VR seems to be a memory hog and the 450 is a good value, money matters). Does anyone have knowledge of PIII (or other high-end chip) enhanced software and the hardware sweet-spot for VR? Thanks - David G

I selected Dos prompt from windows start and did it from there . I made the disk as you suggested with fdisk on it ...I'll try that next. I also wonder why it takes so long to boot up windows. I don't have the virus program running or anything , and it's a celeron 400 on a Houston 741 mb,128sdram? I believe the technician told me to do this deletion then format the old drive and then create a new partition..would that be all on the old drive or is the partition eventually to be on the new drive. What exactly am I trying to accomplish. Could the drive be not locked because windows was not completely transferred by the tech? TIA violetta
