Hello all
My problem is this, last weekend i ran "Spysweeper" in attempts to clean my system of spyware, in doing so something went awry, and my DSL stopped working. After futile attempts by SBC to figure out the problem, they said to get in touch w/my computer manfact. and find out how to reinstall xp b/c they said my comp was not allowing me to access an isp address for the internet..... I managed to piece together enough info to reinstall xp but i didn't know what the partition things meant and so forth. Anyways, i borrowed this windows xp cd b/c my computer didn't come w/ a cd (hp 520w, and 2 years old). Now i have no room on the "f" drive and i keep getting these messages about freeing up space. I am not that computer savvy, and would like to know what if anything could i do to repair my computer, go back to the old xp installation or what? I also could not restore to any points prior to this new installation ( my pc really had some problems). Please any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Hopefully you didn't install on the hidden partition with the recovery
files.
