Yes well the whole question is pretty poorly written in txtish and other gibberish. I from now on will refuse to participate in discussions where the original user hasn't taken the time of day to formulate a question properly. They just waste everybodies time and effort. 		kiki (762)

I found this doing a search to try and find what Operating system you use.

Can I now take it that you want to dual boot XP HOME with XP PRO?

You have one physical hard drive with three partions. How many Logical drives do you have?

One one hard drive you can have several PARTITIONS.

Usually this ONE hard drive will contain ONE Primary ( and active partition ) this will usually be the C:\ drive

You can also have an EXTENDED Partition which will contain one ( or more ) logical drives.

I won't go into Partition Magic which allows you to hide partitions and boot of just the active one.

I also won't go into linux at this point in time. 		Elephant (599)

Have a look at my other replies as well. It is a little like getting blood out of a stone as it were.

Having said that:-

I apologise to you if I offended you.

I read the question and attempted to reply to what I saw on my screen.
Takes a while to comprehend sometimes.
For a fact I KNOW that WinME does not use the NTFS file system.
Therefore I am left wondering what Operating System is being used there.

Don't leave.... Just lie back and enjoy.

:^O No you didn't at all, I was just having a laugh at the whole situation because it is clearly a difficult one to understand even what is going on! :^O 		kiki (762)
