I uninstalled virtual box and went into my XP recovery cd rom and this came up with windows 98(?!) and all series of options that I don't understand including (perhaps) an X drive...
Although I have managed to reformat my XP, something looks wrong as there are some remnants of virtual box and I would like my XP setup options back.
Did set up a shared file in Windows C:\Shared, which I deleted.
Does anyone know how to completely remove V Box from my system (is this a virtual partition?).

After you remove VB from the system using the uninstaller, there are a few files left (the VMs themselves) in your user profile. Remove the .virtualbox folder and that should be all.

XP recovery cd rom & virtual box uninstall
That's strange as I didn't find a virtual box folder...
At the same time, I have been making other lines of investigation on my pc, including booting from gparted and trying to see if using some reformating hdd devices would bring up any joy...
One of the reformating applications noticed a syslinux.cfg file.
In the expert recovery mode of the toshiba product recovery dvd rom, in the local partition area there are two *.GHO files, G_INST and 02677000.GHO (which relates to my XP Home) (I think the image is X:\02677000.GHO and this came up when I reformatted my XP).
In any case the product recovery dvd options are completely different, so something is very wrong...
