You can't "move" XP's system from one drive letter to another - there are too many things in the registry that still depend on drive letters, not to mention installed progrmas. Best advice for changing drive letters is a fresh install.
So you're keeping the Win98 partition. After getting rid of Win98 files, you could use a partition manager program to reduce the size of that partition to as small as possible, and expand the size of the XP partition to as large as possible. After resizing partitions, you no longer care about the Win98 partition for storage so it doesn't matter whether it's FAT or NTFS. But I don't think that converting to NTFS would bother booting. If it does, there are (relatively easy) ways to fix that.

I have been running double boot for a while and I now feel safe to remove W98 from my system which, of course, is on FAT32 partition. My XP is on NTFS. Can I go ahead and convert that partition also to NTFS? If yes, should I do it before or after removing w98 files and editing boot.ini or after everything redundant has been deleted? After removing W98 should I move my XP also to C drive where I had w98 or just leave it on whatever partition it is without affecting any efficiency. -- ---------------------------------------- The WIN-HOME mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software.
