I installed Linux originally on my D drive windows was on my C drive, had it like this for ages so it was duel booting don't even know how this was messed up but I couldn't boot into anything so I reinstalled xp but somehow ended up on my D drive I think thing was this is the bit I had backup of complete drive on Acronis so thinking this would solve my problem I restored it but that went on my C drive and won't boot into windows. Ok now I have duel boot of windows xp the D drive boots ok so I thought I coulnow format C to get rid of the windows that won't boot but I can't it won't let me.... Help!

hello there,

All you must do now is to remove the D: drive and then format the C: drive,

Just set the D: drive on primary and C: on secondary

THanks
