I'm not sure whether to put XP on my C drive or not. The way it was before had 98SE on C (Fat 32):, XP Pro of questionable parentage on D:(NTFS), and legit XP Pro on E: (NTFS) (F: is a data partition). Do you think it would be a good idea to install XP on C over top of what is there?
I've got a couple of hours now and will try to get this thing solved. (May change CD drives).
