ME XP Dual Boot Uninstall

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsme.general (More info?)

I have a dual boot system set up as follows:

C:\ Windows ME - Fat32
D:\ Windows XP - NTFS

The system uses the Windows bootloader to dual boot the system (I think!)
I have PM8 available to use if reqd.

I want to uninstall XP and then re format D into FAT32 so I can use it with
the existing ME installation. I would rather not do a clean install of ME.

Can anyone point me in the right direction of how to do this. I believe if I
delete XP I will have a NTLR problem? or more to the point can it be done?

Boot to DOS using a Win Me boot floppy and from the A:\> prompt enter
SYS C:
Remove the floppy and reboot and this should now take you directly into
Win Me after which you should be able to do whatever you want with your D:
drive.
