I presently have 3 partitions on my drive (laptop).
Housed in C: is Window NT, housed in D: is data and housed
in E: is Windows 2000.

I have been asked to remove NT. If I simply delete all
the information on the C: will that effect the startup of
the system?

Presently the system starts directly onto Windows 2000 so
I am assuming that all the files it needs to start will be
housed in the E: partition and deleting all info on the C:
should not have any effect. I'm simply afraid of deleting
all the files in C: and finding that I cannot start the
system up....are there any grounds to be concerned?

Yes, Win2000 needs the files boot.ini, ntdetect.com, ntldr and possibly
ntbootdd.sys (if it exists) on C:. If you remove them, Win2000 will not
boot.

Best regards

Bjorn
