I have a system someone else set up that now has two partitions on the
machine's single drive. The original OS was ME and XP HOME was
installed on it. He ended up with the old ME portion and all its apps
in partition C, and the new XP portion in partition D. Partition C is
the active partition. At boot-up you get the option of selecting ME
or XP, and both seem to work fine.
I want to delete partition C and then add it's space to partition D.
PQMagic warns me to be sure to make the remaining partition the new
active partition after partition C is deleted. I am afraid to proceed
because I can find no way to specify (set) whether a partition is
active or not. I remember the old FDISK enabled you to do that, but
with NTFS, that is out of the question. I worry that if I allow PQM
to delete the partition, my machine will no longer boot up.
Can anyone help here?
Thanks
