I currenetly have a PC with 2 hard drives and dual boots with Win98 SE and
Win Pro

The master drive C: has Windows98 SE Installed

The second drive has 3 partitions: D,E and F

D drive has windows XP Pro

I would like to partition the C drive to 2 partitions, C and D and eirhter
clone
the current D dirve ( which I know will change drive letter upon
partitioning) or restore an image of the current D drive to the new D drive
and then reformat the D drive on the second hard drive and use it for
storage, thery by syill having 3 partitions on the second hard drive.

What changes to the boot.ini do I have to make, or what would be the
suggested way to accomplish what I want to do?

Thanks in advance
 
If your intention is to get rid of the dual boot and Win98SE, I would
partition the first drive using fdisk and that will destroy
the Win98OS. I would leave the second drive as is and just do a Repair
Install of WinXP. Check at Michael's site for more

I want to maintain a Dual Boot.

I want both OSs (win98SE and WinXP Pro) on the same Hard Drive and ability
to dual boot.. Currently Win98 is on one hard drive and WIN XP is on the
second hard drive.
