Default Computer nerds...I call on your powers.

So I am on my new computer. Woo. Anyway, I was half way passed out when I was installing the OS last night because I was sick. I looked this morning, and it seems as though the OS installed itself on my backupdrive h:



Drive #1 has two partitions: C: is now empty....and E: has some of my stuff which is already backed up.

Drive #2 is my backup drive but the OS is now on there.


Is there anyway for me to move the OS to Drive C:, which is a 20GB partition? I also noticed that C: is a FAT32 :thinking: Anyway of changing that to NTSF?

Thanks.

i would start all over, completely wipe out disk0 and repartition
then install windows on the first partition and format the second partition in windows

So I should just enter the XP CD, then install the OS onto C:. Now what do I do with the system files that are on D:? Can I go on XP and delete the Windows folder?
