I have my PC set up for multiboot (Windows ME on volume C and Windows
XP Pro on E) it is a single physical drive that I have outgrown. I am
going to use Powerquest to copy the entire partition that XP is
located on to a larger HD and I am doing away with the ME partition.
My problem is that the C (WinME) partition FAT32 and is the active
partitionand contains the XP boot files but not the actual XP OS.
Can I copy the XP OS partition to a single active partion, then copy
the bootfiles, edit the boot.ini to reflect the change and expect that
it will work?
If so, how many and what are the names of the bootfiles I will need? I
know NTDETECT, boot.ini, off the top of my head. What are the others?
Thanks.
