Hey, Guys.

I'm trying to instal service pack 2 on my windows xp pro. Problem is, my drive is partitioned and I use drive D, insted of C. I tried to install the update but it wouldnt, as it was trying to install to the C drive. I extracted all the installation files to my desktop, and opend up the update text file and searched for 'C:\' and replaced the C with a D.

This kind of worked, as it installed, but when I had to restart the computer, it kept on restarting and I had to repair xp. I tried this twice, having to repair windows each time.

Does anyone know what I can do?. Thanks for your help.Is this a dual boot or some kind of busted install? If the former, it should be no problem. If the latter, you might be better off doing it right for a lot of reasons.Basicly, I got some SORT of virus a few days ago. I was able to install windows on a new partition, so I could then back up my old files. Once I put all my old files on a disk, I FORMATED the old drive, so all my free space is on the d drive now, and the the c drive is about 8mb in size.

Really, I would like to just have the c drive, and not have this problem. I tried looking around for a partition program that would let me merge the c with the d, but they are all pay.

So for now im just looking for a way I can install Service pack 2 on the d drive."Bootit NG" is a Free boot disk that lets you Mess up all sorts of partitions

But They dont tend to like moveing your MBR, if you do resize your partition you may need to Use FixMBR and FixBoot, to GET it working again

I find a nominal size C Drive (20 gig) and the rest on D works best. I use Acronis True Image, so a reinstall of the OS takes < 10 minutes in case of disaster. (That was the best $30 I spent on software lately.)
