two disks, want to move boot data

A

AC

I have two physical disks (C and D) in a Win2k server box. Drive C has the
NTLDR files and
nothing else. Drive D has the system files and everything else (Drive C
used to have the system files). Currently
the system uses the NTLDR info on C to boot D. So the system is working.
What I would like to do is
make Drive D boot by itself and then completely wipe C so that I can mirror
them. I do not know how to do this. Can anyone suggest a way to do this
*without* wiping the Drive D data?


Thanks in advance

This is what I did that worked ...

1) Disconnected Drive C
2) Ran Win2k Server CD and used Recovery Console on D: to run Fixboot and
Fixmbr
3) Created a Win9X bootdisk to set the active partition in BIOS; used
pdisk.exe - http://www.lpacomputers.telinco.co.uk/PD.zip

Works like a charm :)
