I installed windows 98 in c %26amp; windows xp in d drive os.now want to delete the windows 98.what is the step?
1 - install a good partition manager - Paragon is the best - it's not free but it's worth the money.


2 - all the following should be done as one:


a:delete the win 98 partition


b:create a new ntfs partition there and merged it with d partition


c:change the letter for xp partition from d to c


and hit Apply. All the rest should be done by the soft.
Reply:It would appear that you have dual boot Win98 and XP. When computer boot up, it will always start from C: which should be the master drive. If you do not mind have XP system in D:. You could just delete the complete Win98 from C: and then change the boot.ini in C:\ to get rid of Win98 option during booting up. One can edit this boot.ini file using Notepad or from the system property/advance page.





If you one to change the harddisk around and XP is in C:. change the D: to master and C: to slave using the jumper at the back of harddrive. Then start up with XP installation disk, navigate to Repair XP system; after that , computer will boot into XP with XP operating system in C:.
Reply:delete all files in c





simple
Reply:DO NOT delete everything on C drive as it will contain boot files that windows xp needs. However, you can delete ALL FOLDERS on c:





that includes c:\windows





delete c:\program files as long as you are certain no programs that windows xp uses are installed in that folder. Check the contents first.
