I would delete the partition and start all over... are there any files on that partition you want to keep?

u dont have to delete the partition... just format it
partition magic formating will b sufficient... but if u like to make sure formating will orginize your HD from scrach u can use a regular dos formating...

It understand that delete and format mean different things... yet I tend to define them as the same
