Partitions ?!

[Copper]

Hello.

I was having problems with an upgraded version of XP Pro, so I decided to create a partition on my hard drive and install a fresh version of WinXP Pro.

So now I have an unstable BOSD version on my C: drive.
And a stable clean install on my new partition called G:

My plan was to work off the new version on G: and get ride of the original one on C:
problem is that although I can access folders on C: while I am on the new O/S on G: I canÂ’t get any of the programmes to work properly.I have about 5ghz of music on C: but when I open the folder there is nothing there. I can open AOL, but the broadband modem is wonÂ’t work. Etc etc etc.

My space is pretty limited on the G: partition. (donÂ’t know how to enlarge it)

I was wondering if I could just move the stable version out of G: and paste over the unstable one in C: !!

Or does anyone else have a better remedy ??

Hope I am making sense !

Cheers
Copper.

partition magic, should have all the cures for your woes.

uninstall XP on the C: drive first then try installing a fresh one on it and re-partition the drive again to 1 drive

That thought had passed my mind, but i am afraid of losing the 1000's of tunes that i have on my C: drive. How would i go about doing it, without the machine wanting to format drive C:

I am fairly new to this so -

(1) How do i uninstall XP Pro from the C: drive.
(2) How do install XP Pro back on without formatting the whole drive.
(3) I still have a new fresh install of XP Pro on the newly partitioned G:

Thanks a lot for the input so far.
Much appreciated.
