I am showing two drive partitions C: and D: with the
operating system on the C: which is smaller. How can I
move the O/S to the larger drive or do I have to start
over again? If so can I reload XP again using the same
disk? Bill

get partition magic @ http://www.powerquest.com/ (even the demo will fix
it) to resize the smaller partition to something larger.

The demo is non-functional, you can use it to "pretend" or
learn how to use the program, but it doesn't actually work

If you buy it, it works very well.

Use BootIt NG (http://www.bootitng.com), the partition manager is freely
accessible. Just DL, unzip, run BOOTING.EXE to create a bootable floppy,
boot the floppy, and when the Welcome Screen appears, hit Cancel, and you'll
eventually be placed in the partition manager. Now manage your partitions
(create, resize, move, image, etc.) to your heart's content :)
