Hi,
Windows XP SP2.
Windows on partition C became unstable. I had to install a new version on
another partition to be able to recover my files.
Mission accomplished and I'm now ready to format drive C. However, and even
after modifying the boot.ini file not to include the corrupt Windows option,
I still can not format C because of boot-up system files, such as ntldr.
How can I move them to the new partition and instruct the system to read
them from the new partition, not the old one?

Thanks
Yahya
