Same thing dobey said. The Windows folder you remove on C: is the WinMe
folder (I would just rename it for a while).

Then, in WinXP do Start | Run | msconfig and on the Boot tab tell it to
check boot paths.

Correct me if I am wrong but where XP is installed to a partition other than
C:, doesn't the Master Boot Record still reside on C: ?

Which is why it is a bad idea to format C: in this case.
