i have a couple of questions guys..help me
1>my laptop used to have three os's..
xp home on C:
xp pro on D:
xp media centre on E:
as you might guess it the first two happen to be pirated..so i deletd the main program and "windows" directory of C: and D:
i now use only the genuine media center on E:
now is it safe to format C and D?
will that erase the boot sector?

2>all the partitions are formatted in fat32..can i format the two partitions alone in ntfs?

3>i have a 1 gig flash drive.can i use it to speed up page fetches similar to Vista's READYBOOST.???Also is this recommended??

4>also .msi installers fail to work on my sys... why is that??
