Let's take your questions one at a time:

1. Are both accounts named Adminstrator or are they just listed
as Computer Administrators? Please provide some information as
to what application or Windows utility you're running when you
see these accounts. Keep in mind that every installation of XP
has a built in account named Adminstrator. It cannot be deleted
and is used in emergencies to logon to your computer. If you've
created another account on this computer for yourself it would
show up as a member of the Administrators group as well. This
type of behavior is entirely normal.

2. When hard drive manufacturers list the size of their disks
it is expressed in bytes. An 80GB hard drive contains 80
billion bytes, 80,000,000,000. Windows on the other hand
measures a Gigabyte in its binary form, 1073741824 bytes = 1GB.
You'd then need to divide 80 billion by 1073741824 to get the
true size of your hard drive. It comes out to around 74.5GB.
Take a look here for more info:

3. What CD writing software are you using? Are you saying that
if you tried to write up to 650MB of files to a CD-R it will
only write 90MB? Keep in mind that if you write 90MB worth of
data to a CD-R and close out the session you will not be able
to add more information later. If you're having problems with
writing to CD's you might want to take a look at these web
sites:

First Of All I Would Like To Thank You All For Your Kind Help.

The Size Of My Disk Is 74.5gb Now Which According To Your Opinion Is
Correct.so Far Ok.
But When I Try In The Option Menu To Change The Type Of One Account
That Option Is Grey Which I Dont Think That Is Correct.

According To Cd's Which I Burn,when I Insert A New Cd To Burn It In The
Options Says That The Size Is Only 90 Mb And Not 700mb Or 800 Mb.

You Have Suggested Me To Do A Low Level Format And To Delete Any
Partition Which I Made.as I Wrote Before I Never Did Any Partion And
Also I Dont Know How To Do A Low Level Format.

For One More Time I Would Like To Thank You And Looking Forward For
Your Help.

P.s All The Problems Started When I Installed The File Recovery
Programm.

You stated "But When I Try In The Option Menu To Change The
Type Of One
Account That Option Is Grey Which I Dont Think That Is
Correct."
I don't know what that means. You're not giving enough details.
Here are two questions you need to answer:
1. What is the name of the account you are trying to change?
2. What is the name of the program or utility where the option
is greyed out?
Post back with that information.

As for your CD burning program, are you sure it's not saying 90
minutes?
An 800MB CD will hold 90 minutes of audio. I'm no expert on CD
recording but it may be that your trying to create an audio CD
and the program is showing you how much recording time is
available. Start the program and choose to create a data CD.
What size does it show? If that doesn't answer your question,
post back with the name of the program you're using to burn
CD's.
