I just deleted my partition (F:) last night and booted up my computer today. I got this message and after a couple of times clicking the "OK" button it went away. But it bugs me that I am getting an error...

If anyone has any clue on how to fix this please help me :D

Hi Deception

HPProductAssistant uses that partition.

Try uninstall.

I hope you made your recovery DVD before deleting the partition.

I went to Uninstall or Change a Program and nothing there is called HP Product Assistant. Just some other HP things...

I uninstalled all of my HP things possible and the last one left is HP Update. When I try to uninstall it I can't; it says Invalid Drive F:

Well I can't remove "HP Update" because every time I try it tells me "Invalid Drive F." So I don't want to reinstall it until it is all gone.
