can i ask how the heck you deleted a 114 GB partition? if it was the main partition?

ok here's a thing you could try

start>control panel > Admin tools > computer management

in comp. manage. left panel, select Disk management.

find the free space - shold be in RAW format or something. basically search for the 114gb unused space. right click, and say format. when formatting, assuming your in XP, format NTFS.

that will take a while.

that should solve it!
