View Full Version : Question on changing hard drive partitions

I have a drive divided into partition of C D E F G H
Drive C is the boot up drive for Windows XP
Drive G contains Windows ME so I can multi boot up into either
operating system.
I want to remove drive F and give the space from drive F to drive C
and the rest to drive D.
If I do this then drive H will become drive G

My question is will I still be able to multi boot into Windows ME or
will the system be looking for a drive H?
Would re mapping using Partition magic might solve the problem?

Regards Brian

Doesn't look as though too many people are answering this one! :-/
Personally, my concern would not be looking for drive H, since I'm sure it
would still be detected. Rather, it would be looking for the newly re-
lettered WinME OS partition.

Partition Magic should be just the right tool for the job, but the standard
disclaimer for such major procedures is still "backup all critical data
before you try any major changes to your drive/partition layout."

Just out of curiosity, why are you still using WinME?
