I have win 2k installed on my main hard drive and I have another slave hard
drive. I want to upgrade to win xp pro. I did a fresh install by putting the
cd in win 2k and continuing. It installed and put win xp on my slave hard
disk and set up a dual boot system. I thought I was getting a fresh install
and it would remove all win 2k refrences and OS. how do i install xp on my
main disk as the only os. Can i do this without formatting from dos and all
that stuff?
 
Well,first reformat the slave wiping off xp,then install
xp cd,restart computer,boot to cd,choose recover,press
the enter key if prompted for password,type:
FORMAT C: /FS:ntfs
When its thru,type:EXIT
Reboot to xp cd,install,actually you could wipe off the
old xp install in recovery too,just change the letter,if
you need help,type:FORMAT /?
