This is the only computer that I have access to for
email.
Yes I have all my disks that came with the computer.
I have a year left on my Norton subscription and I
have the disk to install it.My computer is no longer
under warranty it went out in April.And I don't have
tech support anymore.
I won't have the time to work on this until the
weekend since I work 9 hrs. a day and it is late when
I get home.
Keep in mind that I know nothing about working on
clearing hard drives. I don't even understand what you
are talking about when you say "partitions."
If you can tell me step by step what to do I have a
friend across the street that can help me.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Dana
