Hi,
I would like to transfer Windows XP professional upgraded
operating system from a partition on a dual boot PC (has
Windows 98 on C: drive)to a new hard disk with only one
partition.
There are two partitions on the original hard disk:
Partion 1 is the c: drive and has Windows 98 (the original
op system that came with the PC) and the partition is set
as the system disk: Formated Fat32
Partition2 has windows XP professional as an upgrade to
windows 98 and this partition is set as the boot partiton:
Formated NTFS.
I have Norton Ghost and tried to clone the XP partition to
a new hard drive with only one primary partition. however
when I booted up the computer using the clone I get this
error message: "NTLDR is missing press any key to
restart"
I also tried editing the boot.ini file to remove referece
to the old windows 98 operating system however the same
error appears.
I only want to use Windows XP now and don't require Win
98. The problem is that there is insufficient space on the
XP partition for all the programs I'm running now and I
need to move it to a larger partition.
Has anyone got any idea how to do this?
Thank you
John
