R Rick \Nutcase\ Rogers Jun 26, 2004 #4 And if the boot files happen to be on that partition? Bad idea. Sounds like a dual boot instead of an upgrade to an existing system. There's an easier (and safer) way without using a third party tool: Boot WinXP. Open Windows Explorer, delete the Win98 system folders from the volume they are on. Reboot to WinXP (recommended but not always necessary) Start/run msconfig, go to the boot.ini tab, click on "check all boot paths". It will offer to remove the Win98 line which is no longer valid. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP Associate Expert - WindowsXP Expert Zone Windows help - www.rickrogers.org
