I have had a new hard disk drive installed into my computer. the guy has split the drive into two - which seems to have upset the recognition of my memory stick into the second USB port. It used to be 'd' but this is now something else. Can I delete the new 'd' and re-instate the previous set-up. any advice would be very welcome.

DOS does not handle large hard drives well. How big is your new one? Its best to have a number of small FAT partitions rather than one big one if that …
