| 96272 | 2002-11-05 09:05:00 | I don't know if it's possible to remove Win2k without screwing up the multiboot. I've manually taken Win2k apart (deleting files) making sure I keep the multiboot files intact. This is just the standard windows bootloader. What I want to do is make my D: which is WinXP the C: which currently holds a partial Win2k which is no longer needed since I never boot into it anymore. I don't need the multiboot. Is this even possible? or does it require formatting and reinstalling. |

| 96273 | 2002-11-05 09:16:00 | Kame, You may be able to remove everything on C: and transfer everything from D: over to C: by using something like Norton's Ghost, and then creating a bootloader for Win XP by using the recovery console from the XP setup CD. Make sense? ;) Mike. |
