I just booted my comp for the first time, and i messed up the partitions. I created an 8MB partition and now i am stuck using that partition. So i have a 120GB harddrive but i can only use 8MB. HOw do i erase the partition and just create a 120GB partition?

You can use Partition Magic or use FDisk. What OS are you using?

just boot up with a boot floppy and run fdisk again
you can add or delete partitions all you want all day long

It sounds like you might have deleted the partion that your operating system is on. If you have another computer put that in as slave drive see what happened.

Set the bios to boot from the CD and setup Windows again. When you get to the partitioning spot, delete all partitions and redo them the way you want.
