My PC came with one 20 gig hard drive with 98se, later partitioned it in 2
partitions.
Added a second 40 gig hard drive and installed XP Pro on it, it's also
partitioned in 2 partitions.
I have been using the dual boot since then, and now want to use just XP Pro.
I have images of both 98se and XP Pro, but I don't know what's the best way
to go about making the change to just XP Pro. I don't think I could use my
images for this, but not sure.
I don't know what would happen if I totally removed the 20 gig, and put the
40 gig in it's place. Would it even boot? And if it did I'm concerned about
settings in the registry that are pointing to XP Pro on D:\ and not C:\.
What would be the best and safest way to do this? I know I could swap the
drives, reformat, and reinstall XP Pro and all the programs, but that could
take a while to do when I think about the extra setting involved.
All partitions are FAT 32 right now.
