Re: Dual boot cancellation

Hi Peter,

How you proceed depends on what you want to end up with. Also, if the boot
files are on C, then converting D to NTFS should not have presented a
problem. If you plan on leaving the C drive in place, just delete the WinME
system files from it and alter boot.ini.
