This may be a dumb-ass question, but I'm completely
stuck. I am running XP home on a split drive as supplied
by the manufacturer. I have C: and D: with Xp installed
on C:
Problem is C: is small disk, 2.79 GB total, and all
updates and patches have left me with 59 mb left on this
drive. This obviously affects operating speed and
ability on my 2.79 MHz 512mb system.
I want to install XP onto D: (size 48GB), but the last
time I tried this I lost ALL my data as it wiped clean
the contents. I have tried to copy Windows from C: to D:
(so that I can boot from D: on start-up) but this fails
as C: is still still running Windows at the time.
Does anybody know how I can reinstall XP on D: without
losing all my information and boot from D:, or as an
alternative, remove the Partition and make it one drive.
(I don't have partition magic or anything at the moment).
Any help with this matter would be appreciated. Thanks
