I have a problem with my pc and was hoping for some help. I currently cannot play two of my fave games as the cd wants to uninstall them before i can re-install them. The problem is that the games were on the second part of a partioned hard drive that is now a cd drive. I cannot re-install until i have first uninstalled and therefore cannot play the games. My pc registry doesn't read these files as existing but they must be somewhere because otherwise the game wouldn't think it was already installed. The options i see available are; clear the new hd and partition it (hopefully this would allow me to uninstall the files that no-longer exist) or clear both hard drives and re-install windows (hopefully clearing the problems away and starting again). Are there any less drastic options available?

My drives/drivers(?) used to be as follows:
a=floppy c=main hard drive d&e= smaller hd partitioned f=cd drive e=cd drive
(note- d&e were old and faulty and kept crashing the pc)
Now:
a=floppy c=main hard drive d=new hd (much larger that former partitioned hd) e=cd f=cd
