I used to have Win2000 and WinXP on my PC on a dual boot config. I removed
Win2K a while back, but left the boot partition in place (small FAT32 boot
partitition C with WinXP on an NTFS partition D:
To clean things up, I decided to remove the C boot partition and get WinXP
booting normally off D.
To do this, I copied the boot files from C to D and modified the boot.ini on
D point to the first drive, first partition, WINDOWS folder. Then I deleted
the C partition and reallocated the space to D.
It all seems to work OK, the the boot drive is still D. To clean things up
I'd like to make it C again. If I change drive letters using PartitionMagic,
it warns me that Win XP may no longer work.
What's the risk here? What can I do to make sure it works? Too much junk
there now to consider reinstalling XP except in a total disaster.
