I get an error message saying the system needs to create a user partition and then another one saying it can't create the user partition and can't restore the computer. Any ideas why the restore CD has this problem.

I don't know the answer to your question, but I have a suggestion. Have you tried the System Restore feature by just setting the computer back to an earlier date?
-Start Menu
-Programs
-Accessories
-System Tools
-System Restore
-Restore My Computer to an Earlier Time
Then you can select one of the earlier System Restore dates, and it will restore computer back to settings as they were on that date. Go back as far as you need to. If that doesn't work for you, you can undo. Hope this helps.

try putting the disc in and then restarting the pc and it should boot from the cd and then you can format the partition and reinstall windows, if it doesnt offer to boot from disc you need to enter bios and set your boot devices so that cd rom is first

i've got self belief domicile windows has a disc administration application build into it. i'd attempt to click initiate button then "run..." then kind "diskmgmt.msc" without the " marks....then you truly can in all probability reformat the linux partition. this would enable domicile windows to renowned the partition that replaced into as quickly as set aside for the linux setting up. you will possibly have the means to delete all of the information fromt he linux partition and alter it to a sparkling one that domicile windows can comprehend. merging partitions is a little extra problematic to do than merely formatting present ones..... it somewhat is advisable to objective a third social gathering partitioning software. i take advantage of partition wizard myself.. so a approaches as your returned up discs and what they furnish in terms of changing partitions returned to the unique configuration Ive on no account used them till now. a actual stand on my own domicile windows disc will enable you to alter them to be precisely as you like them, throughout the setting up, and could get rid of linux out of your force like a bite of maximum cancers in case you like.

just a defect in pc / cd
partition needed...... as msdos creates drive a:/ on your hard drive (temporary) to load data from cd and create "bootup" this then loads your entire system ....... best get comp techie to reload from new... and ditch old useless cd.... get backup from techie...saves time later good luck
