Solve : multi operating systems?

Answer»

I have a computer with two operating systems installed, Microsoft 2000 Professional and WINDOWS XP. Is there a way to delete Windows 2000 Professional without FORMATTING my HARD drive so I can keep Windows XP?Can you access files in the Win2k partition from XP?
If so all you have to do is find the file boot.ini ( on your boot drive i.e. C: )
Right click and select properties.
Uncheck the Read-only checkmark in Attributes.
Edit the boot.ini file in Notepad and remove the reference to Win2k.
Make sure "default=" points to XP
Save the boot.ini file

[boot loader]
timeout=10
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINXP

[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINXP="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect

Delete the WINNT folder from the Win2k partition to reclaim about 600 MB on your hard drive.
