Wow, this feature is awesome.

So it says C: is my system
and H: is my boot.

I have no idea why this is, because my real os lies in H:, but C: used
to have a system directory.

Any idea how this might help me?

I tried installing a GRUB boot loader, but when it tried to start
windows it really messed up.

My boot and OS installation is a mess.

Should I just copy the drive image of C: to a new drive and then
replace the drives?

Thanks,

Normally they are one in the same, but for some ironic reason, when you put
the \WINDOWS directory on a partition/drive other than where the boot files
are located, windows refers to the drive where the boot files reside as the
"system drive/partition" and the drive where \WINDOWS (or where you loaded
windows to) as the "boot drive/partition". To me they seem totally opposite
of what they "logically" should be, but hey who am I but average Joe
consumer, not Microsoft <grin>!
