Hey y'all, I hope someone can help me.

I have XP Pro on my computer now. Before, though, I had
a dual operating system (Win98 and WinNT). Because of
one of those program's drive settings, the 10gb hard
drive that came with my computer was broken up into 5 2gb
hard drives. On top of that I have my own 30gb hard
drive. When XP was installed on my computer it was
installed on one of the small 2gb drives, without
repartitioning them all as 1 10gb drive.

So, WinXP has the default saving set up to go to the
drive that it is installed on, and if I don't do
something soon, my wife's gonna crash the hell out of my
computer because she doesn't pay attention to where she's
saving/installing programs.

So my questions are:
1) Is there any way to move XP from the small drive over
to my big drive without uninstalling and reinstalling it?

2) Is there any way to change the default saving/install
functions to save/install to a different drive?

3) Is there a way to repartition my 10gb drive into a
10gb drive instead of 5 2gb drives?

If anyone can help me, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks,
Adam

First go to file transfer wizard,set current comp.as old,
use the utility and create a folder to transfer the data
to,then transfer to a cd.If you have multiple users do
the same with them.Then install xp cd,exit info page,
restart computer,boot to cd,recovery,press enter key for
password,in recovery,typeiskPart Delete the unwanted
partition,then type:EXIT Then type:FORMAT C: /FS:ntfs
When its thru type:EXIT REboot to cd,install xp
You can transfer xp drive to drive,however it doesnt
work for everyone,you need two physicall hds not partitio
ed,you go to run,type:XCOPY C:\*.* D:\ /c/h/e/k/r
Then shutdown computer,set hd jumpers accordingly
D: being the letter of hd transferring to
