Change boot.ini first so that you remove the lines relating to C:\. (Assuming of course that the OS you want to remove is on C:\). 2. Reformat, repartition, reinstall from scratch. Remember to backup first. 3. {This is untested by me} Move all files in C:\ root into your XP partition. Delete the line in boot.ini referring to the other windows install. Use partition magic or similar to make the XP partition the active boot partition. Cross your fingers and restart. Reformat, redistribute C:\. Let me know how you get on G P	Graham Petrie (449)
