How To Move from Multiple Boot to single boot without trashing partitions
I seem to recollect an MS article but can't locate it so far, but here's
what I have and what I want to do. I have two disks. Disk 0 has 2 partitions. The primary partition has Windows98 and the logical partition has XP. There is also a further 4Gb or so unallocated. Win98 was the first OS installed and XP was installed later. Disk 1 is essentially a data disk for XP - no OS's installed. Basically I want to get rid of Win98 (FAT32) without affecting XP (trashing the data and programs) as I don't hardly use '98 anymore and want the space. I have access to Partition Magic 5 currently installed under Windows98 but it used to work on pre SP2 XP. Can anyone either outline the process I need to go through or point me to the MS article I refer to above - in the meantime thanks and I'll keep on looking for the article and let you know if I find it. -- Harry Broom "The meek shall inherit the earth, but not the mineral rights" John Paul Getty 1892 - 1976 |
