I deleted the NTFS partition altogether and rebooted, and the system recovery part of the hard drive took over on restart and reinstalled everything.

So I still lost all my installed programs and almost a week's worth of video encoding just because I wanted to uninstall norton, but at least I'm up and running again.
Good to hear you got your system up again.

It would be a good idea as to backup your videos on a different harddrive and or DVD...

Assumptions suck.
Very Well Put...... same thing happened to me with vista.. I "assumed" the hardware would be "backward compatible" ... some things are .. and some don't...

I guess as long as I can submit my galleys I'll be fine......

Dude, the missing driver was for the network adapter. Has there been some massive breakthrough in home networking technology in the past 12 months that I'm unaware of?

Also, I wasn't bitching because XP didn't work, I was bitching because the built in vista recovery wouldn't work, and I was without an operating system period.

Some of us have lives and don't spend all of our time in our mother's basement taking apart our computers. Get over yourself.

Microsoft made a public statement that they will NOT be releasing DX10 for XP.

This company sucks so bad.
I would like you to explain how its costing people money please.
Also from your post, you would be a hypocrite to be using any MS software.

To blame Microsoft Vista for your HP recovery partition not working is very funny or so I think. Anyways even if it was a fault on microsofts part which I highly doubt, you are a moron not to expect something like this to happen.

Microsoft releases every operating system before its ready for one main reason... They make money off the support given to people like you.

With that line of thinking I could argue that 8-track tapes should work in CD players because speaker technology hasn't changed in the past 12 months.
