Removing Windows XP

photon · 11-10-2004, 11:32 AM

My hard disk has 4 partitions, 20 GB each. C,D,E,F. C was on 98. D was XP. Accedentally F got devided , F 7GB & H 13 GB. I want to join them back. How I can do that? During the try outs C has also upgreded to XP. How i can remove XP system files from D?

Just format the D: drive ...

As for your first query, there are many methods to do that:

FDISK method:

You can delete F: and H: , and from the unallocated space, create a new partition.

Diskmanagement tool:

You can use the DiskManagement tool (Control Panel->Adminstrative tools -> Computer management), delete both your partitions, and from the unallocated space, you can create a new one.

IF you want to non-destructively join both the drives (ie, if they contain data that you cannot move elsewhere)

Get Partition Magic (or even a boot disk containg PM will do) , select both the partitions, and choose the option merge.

To remove XP from D: do the following:
Create a bootable floppy and copy sys.com to it. Formatt the drive D: or remove all windows system files from D: . Boot from floppy. Type :- Sys C: and sit back and relax. Then boot again...Simple wasn't it??
