Hi

I have 2 OS. My c-drive contains win98, and my d-drive
contains winXP. What should I do? How should I go about
deleting my win98?

Thanks
Maia

You will remember that the system files for WinXP, too, are on your C:
drive.

If you run your WinXP on FAT32, too, then you may keep your Win98 aa a
fall back system for reading data when XP crashes.

Save your My Documents, e-Mails, adress book, and favourites.
Delete on C: the Windows folder, Documents and Settings, Program Files
- and the Win98 entry in the boot.ini on C:.
Defrag C: - and that's it.

Short of reformatting and starting over, you can't. All the XP boot
information is contained on the C drive. If you format or otherwise remove
Windows 98 from that drive, you'll lose that information and the ability to
boot the system without starting over from scratch. This assumes XP created
the boot menu during XP setup. If you used third party software such as
Partition Magic or Bootit it can be done but if you had used third party
software to create the dual boot setup, my guess is you wouldn't be asking
the question so the bottom line is, unless you are prepared to start over
from scratch and reinstall XP, you can't.
