Emulator problems- messing up my windows experience

[Guest]

Ok i have been bad, i used to have some emulator software installed on my
computer which i had used to try and install my beta copy of vista. When I
have switched back to xp i have had problems with patching a game-
battlefield 2. I talked to tec support but they said i still had emulator
traces and that was what was corrupting it. However i have done several full
disk wipes and they say i still have it.

Any one have any knowledge of this problem or know what i can do?

You mean a virtual CD software?
What CD burning applications do you have installed?

i have is nero

How did you do a "disk wipe"? Exactly.

Put in XP disk. Start from CD. Windows xp screen lodes. Press F6 to use my
ata raid driver. Blue screen- previous instalations of xp found, do you want
to repair? No. Next screen, delete preperition with old xp on. Select full
format.

Assuming "delete preperition" means delete partition....

Suggest about the same steps except choose to remove all existing
partitions, recreate the partitions, and then format during installation.

"delete preperition" means delete partition- you are right, have not done a
month or so!

When i instaled windows, it did not show any other partitions once i had
deleted the one xp used
