Recovered from a serious error.

Sorry I´ve been away for a few days. Heres the story...

I found out how to make folders private, I wanted to make the Windows folder private so other users couldn´t mess around with it but it made the operating system private. No-one could log on and I couldn´t recover, the C:\Windows folder was denied access to everything so I formatted the partition. I though "Oh, I better re-arange the partitions now, better now than after windows is re-installed." so I deleted the first 2 partitions which are "System" and "Files" but the third partition called "Backup" moved to letter C. I installed Windows 98 onto D but the backup partition was in NTFS format which was all I needed. Partition Magic couldn´t read it! So, I tried everything I could with FDISK and Windows XP Setup Partition thingy to get the drives correct, took me 3 hours then Windows XP installed fine. I´ve just got loads to install now.

Never mess with the Windows folder. You can get programs that stop the C drive being shown at all. Don´t ask me what they are though.

I thought that what I did was just to prevent users messing around with the folder.
