subject: Re: XP Boot/ System Partitions

From: Chris Robinson 

Think we've got wires crossed somewhere here - My C: partition is already
my system partition - the problem is that I don't want it to be.

My Windows drive (boot partition - let's call it Z: Drive for example) is
the partition I'd like to act as my Boot and System partition.  The way
things are at the moment is that my C: drive is my System partition and my
Z: Drive is my boot partition - I want to consolidate system and boot onto
one partition (Z:) rather than having them spread over two partitions.

It's a bit confusing ;o)
