    Re: Help =(

    Can you boot into OS X?

    And can you boot via cd? If so, download something like Gparted http://gparted.sourceforge.net/screenshots.php and do a full format.

    Have you got anything that needs backing up?

    Re: Help =(

    I don't thgink GPARTED will help here - or any of the normal Windows tools as Apple Macs use the EFI boot method with a GUID partition table.

    If the system will boot normlly intoi the MAC OS then you should be able to reinstqall Windows. If not, you will habve to do a system re-install from the MAC OS disk and then re-install Windows.

    However I am not a Mac user and my knowledge iof it is failrly limited.

    Indeed i pretty much guarantee gparted will be of no help...

    I'd also go with the complete re-install solution. Corrupting the install that heavily will be difficult to fix i think.

    How can you "Accidently" uninstall all the drivers?

    Sounds like a delete and re-install job to me :-)
