Boot and system files on different partitions

[JDunster]

Hello people,

Here's the situation:

Disk 1

C: Boot partition (contains XP), logical (in extended)
E: System partition (contains boot files), primary, active
F: Data, primary
G: Data, primary

Disk 2

D: Data, primary

I would like to make C: the boot AND system partition. For this I need to
convert the logical partition to a primary and make it active.

I googled quite a bit but can't find decisive info. I think I need to:

1. copy the C: partition to a temporary partition
2. remove the C: partition
3. create a new primary partion with the letter C: and mark it active
4. copy the data back
5. make C: bootable (ntldr, boot.ini etc).

Don't want to reinstall XP again, just got it all up to standard...

Any tips much appreciated!

PS: I used to have 4 primary partitions on disk 1. I decided last week I
wanted to do a fresh XP install. My mistake was to REMOVE the C: partition, I
guess XP setup created the extended partition after that. It seems it makes
the next primary partition active, which was E:. In hindsight, I should have
only formatted it...
