Background info:
I have installed MS2k in two different partitions of my
computer.
The first installation was placed in a partition sized
15GB (NTFS) and was assigned the "c' drive. Now, this
partition is the one that 'holds' the system, as well as
being a boot partition.
The second installation was placed in a partition sized
30GB (NTFS) and was assigned the "f' drive {as all other
letters in between I have assigned to other partitons or
logical dirves). This shows as a 'boot' partition.

Objective: I want to endup with a larger (30GB) system-
boot drive size.

Question: Is there a way to change the drive 'f' so that
it becomes the system partition? And if possible, how can
I after delete the 'c' partition to be able to rename
the 'f'drive to become the 'c' drive? All of these
without changing the letter assignation of my other
partitions?

Sorry there are so many questions in this query, but one
is connected to the next. If someone can help me figure
out this dilema, I will be very thankful!
