Add/Remove programs isnt displayign correctly

Well, my HD is broken into 3 paritions, 1 for windows, 1 for games, and 1 i keep misc. shit on.

Drivercleaner did a good job of elminating my SP2.cab when i was diddling around with omega/zerpoint/official ATI drivers, so i went ahead and reformatted and reinstalled windows back onto its own partition, so i could keep everything else.

problem being, add/remove programs only recognises things that have been updated since its own parition was updated, is there anyway to update it so it sees all the things its susposed to see on the other 2 partitions?

Thanks..

That`s prolly `cos an XP re-install would have replaced your registry with a brand spanking new, sparkly clean one. I`d doubt if many of your installed apps and programs would work now. Not much you can do, short of re-installing those apps and programs again.

Add/Remove programs only shows what's been installed AFTER windows was installed.
