I have a laptop that has one hard drive split into two partitions
Boot Partition (7GB Logical Drive) NTFS (XP)
System Partition (13GB Primary Partition)FAT32 (Win98)
When booting up I have option of
XP (7GB) or
Win98 (13GB)
I want to Zap the 13GB and end up with
Boot/System Partition (20GB) NTFS XP
but am unsure what steps to take.
Anyone got any suggestions ??
Thanks in advance

If you don't need any of the data on the larger partition then first format it and convert to ntfs.Then you will need to use a piece of software called partition magic or somthing simular to remove the partition.
After this has been completed you may need to change the Boot.ini file so at start up you don't get the option to boot to Win98. Simple really !!
