My system was originally set up for dual boot. Since I no longer wanted the
dual boot capability, I removed the line for the second drive from boot.ini
so it is no longer a dual boot system.
Now I am about to use Acronis True Image 9.0 to clone the original disk (XP
Pro SP2) to another larger disk (XP Pro SP2). The old disk contains a
seperate FAT 16 partition containing the boot record.
If I clone the disk, I am affraid that the old fat 16 boot partition will be
copied over to the new disk, wasting 40 MB of valuable disk space. (Actually
40 mb is not much, but hey, I'd like to make the most of all my real estate)
How do I "convert" the old boot partition to NTFS and maintain the master
boot record?
or is this even possible?
