UNPARTITIONED DISK SPACE

I had unpartitioned disk space on my hard disk
noticed this while doing a reinstall of windows XP.

The Unpartitioned disk space wouldnt get deleted,
a 75GB Hard Disk and I was losing 14Gigs!!

only 60GB was being formatted.

I googled and found out that using Recovery Console
and the FIXMBR Command that is part of it,
I could fix this.

Had to write a new MBR, got a peculiar error message
that I have a non-standard MBR???

makes me wonder if this is standard for branded DELL PC's
or is the MBR Corrupted.

hmmm.....MBR ROOTKITS ?
