dual boot,floppy drive,win xp

[Guest]

I am a bit burnt out at the end of a long day, so let me try to get this straight.
-You had WinXP installed, you wanted to get rid of it
-You installed WinME on a different partition, and are running that
-You can not get WinXP to delete, and then Reinstall correctly.

Are you trying to just 1. Remove WinXP files, or 2. Remove WinXP Files and Reinstall the Operating system?

Do you have files on the WinXP partition you can not lose?  Because if you can move anything needed to the second ME Partition, you can use a program like Partition Magic to format the WinXP Partition entirely.

I am still a bit confused about the need to change the boot check order of your drives, and where win2k plays into this.  If your end goal is just to format the WinXP partition, Partition Magic should do the trick.

Again, I apologize, my mind is in shambles at the moment.

Cheers,

Munk

Windows xp is not installed because it has failed during the installation;I have tried to install xp many times without success,so I have tried to remove it and replace it by another operating system (I have windows 2000 and 98)
Windows Me is installed and it is running ok
I cannot get rid of win xp since the floppy disk drive doesn't boot (in order to activate the xp partition,format it and replace it);I want to get rid of it to make a new dual boot (Me/2000 or Me/98)
Ya,I just want to delete xp and i have no files to keep since I couln't install xp
I don't have partition magic;where can I download it?
If partition magic can format xp from win Me,it should work;
how does partition magic work?
