Hi all, Here's the thing, I have a second HD - 20 Gig - it was used for a
master drive using XP.
Want to use it in another PC, Hd is partitioned as C, D, & E. C is Fat32, D
& E are NTFS, what steps do I do to make it all one partition NTFS or Fat32?
When I put it in the PC.
TIA. Colin D.
 
Set it to slave,then start computer,install xp cd,boot to cd
recovery,press enter key for password,at the curser type
DiskPart,highlite the unwanted partition,delete,delete,delete,delete
The hit escape to exit,then type:FORMAT C: /FS:ntfs or /FS:FAT3
Sorry,xp is C:,the remaining partition or letter in DiskPart would replac
C: (FORMAT E: /FS:ntfs) w/o the brackets...When its thru,type:EXI
If xp was on the hd,you can probably run it solo,as master.
 
Thanks, I appreciate the simplicity and completeness of the instructions.
Works great.
Colin D.
