Restoring Emachine with multiple partitions help!

[Deadlydread]

I have an Emachine 2200 and am about to restore the computer back to its original software, but i need to know one thing. I have it partitioned into 4 other drives, and need to know if when I restore it will it wipe the files off those other partitions or just wipe C drive?

bah why do i always need help when no one knows the answer.....

Geez..maybe you could wait more than a minute for someone to respond.

You Will lose everything..partitions included if you use a restore cd...the only saving grace would be if the restore cd allows a reload and not a full install...

hand some of that popcorn over here! <looks around>... its aiight, he was wrong on all counts... didn't delete any partition or files other than C drive.... so there was no need to thank his wrongness.

ok ok the partitioning isnt the main problem here the main issue is that its an emachine and u actuallly expect it to still work..., now anyways when u restore u will loose all partitions and why the hell do u have 4 of them in the first place!?

solarix, please keep your anti emachine comments to yourself. only thing still stock on this is the MB and PSU... the rest is upgraded, removed, or added... and the MB and PSU are going to be changed soon... along with the case. And no I didn't lose any partitions or anything except what i wanted to lose.

you do know that after you replace your mobo, the eMachines cd will no longer work, right?

[Deadlydread]

yup, thats why i'm planning on getting everything at once.... Case, Mobo, Win XP Pro Ed., etc...

I don't think you've replaced anything in your box to be honest. I think you are just saying that to make it sound like you don't own an emachine anymore......

Don't worry, no one is laughing at you..
