| I have Server & Pro 2000 dual booting with Server on the System partition (C) & Pro on the boot Partition (D) both partitions
are on the same Hard Drive which is setup as a basic disk is there any way of totally removing Server & putting Pro back on C:
maybe using Partition Magic? or could I sys the D: drive ? | |

| Get rid of Server and leave Pro where it is. Use the newly gained space for other things. | |

| format the c: drive
edit the boot.ini file and you should be all set | |

| He CAN'T simply format the "C" drive.
Win2K uses 2 partitions for the OS. The System Partition, which contains the boot files and the Boot Partition which contains the OS itself.
On his system, both OS's share the "C" drive for their System Partitions. Pro uses the "D" drive for its Boot Partition. If he formats the "C" drive, Pro will be unbootable.
He must format the drive, then reinstall the Pro System Partition. | |

If I remove Server on C: do a fast/manual repair with the 2k disk will it be ok? | |
