I am currently running 98 and XP off of two drives=C & D.
I would like to Fdisk everything and use one drive with
only XP. I tried to find how to but all I found was to
reformat existing drives. Also, When I use my 98 boot
disk, XP won't let me.

How do I accomlish an fdisk with XP?

The Windows XP CD is bootable and contains all the tools necessary
to partition and format your drive. Follow this procedure and allow
Windows XP to partition and format your drive:

1. Open your BIOS and set your CD Drive as the first bootable device.
2. Insert your Windows XP CD in the CD Drive and reboot your =
computer.
3. You'll see a message to boot to the CD....follow the instructions.
4. The setup menu will appear and you should elect to delete the =
existing
Windows partition, then create a new partition, then format the =
primary
partition (preferably NTFS) and proceed to install Windows XP.
