Hi there!
I have Evo N1020v compaq laptop, i had purchased it 6 months ago, i have its all documentation and recovery disks and all the stuff which comes with it. Well i m trying to use the recovery disks, but when i boot it with disk1, after selecting language, and when it says, click here to delete all the partitions and stuff, then it gives an error, cant delete all the partitions blah blah, i have 2 partitions , but still it aint going further, thanks in advance : )

Shahzad,

Try using the F-Disk Command to delete.

Since your Model supports W2K & XP, I assume this is an NTFS partition, right?
You need to use the DELPART.EXE tool:

Also, here is the link of your Model:

Hope this help
