Because of this, if I remove the C: and move XP into it's place, I'll end up with many many errors about missing paths etc. If XP is installed in the C: (it doesn't matter if you've just partitioned one hard drive), then you can boot into a program like PartitionMagic and simply remove the 2000 partition, and add its space to the XP partition. If XP isn't installed on the first drive/partition (excluding A: or B:), then you simply won't be able to do it, unless you just format the drive/partition and leave it as a file drive (or can you set another drive to take up C:, eg a CD-ROM drive?). In my situation, I'm thinking of installing Linux on my C:, though I doubt that XP would then recognise there is a drive as C:, so I might keep it as a multimedia drive.	agent (30)
