Moving OS

[Martin Schmid]

Hello,

I have a laptop, ~60GB Drive...
Win2000 on C: (7.91GB)
WinXP Home on E: (7.91GB)
Data only on Z: (18.94GB)
and 21.13GB of free space...

I use the XP on E ~100% of the time... but I'm running out of space, and
don't have time to start from scratch w/ a clean install (I should have just
created one 60GB partition).

my Boot.ini on C:
--------------------------------------------
[boot loader]
timeout=5
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home
Edition" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000"
/fastdetect
---------------------------------------

I'd like to Format the Free space, copy everything from E to the new space,
I'd probably do this from within the Win2000 OS to avoid any locked files,
etc...

However, how do I make the new copy of my OS 'active', and as E: (i.e.,
everyting in the registry, etc, will point to locations on E?

Nevermind... I ran into NTFS issues when copying....

Any other suggestions?
