Write a Standard MBR to the 250 GB HD. That will over-write the Dell MBR. eg fdisk /mbr from a Win98 boot CD or floppy. Or Standard MBR from your BING CD. HDAT2 again. Acronis TI again without restoring the MBR.

From: Brian K on 30 Apr 2010 22:37 Mike, it should be easy this time! Keep notes for me on HDAT2.

I'm not sure. This time when I booted to Acronis it showed the unallocated 250gigs. I just restoring the OS partition to see if it stays 250. If so I'll then restore the recovery partition. I'll get back to you. -- "Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you."
