In a 40Gb harddisk(with 4 partitions c,d,e,f),first i installed windows 98 in (PRIMARY active)c:, then i installed windows xp in (secondry partition) d:
Now i need to delete the windows 98 in c: and move the installed windows xp to c:
(i need to move the xp from secondry partition to primary partition)
There are many way to delete the windows 98 and retain windows xp without any problem but i want to totally move xp to c: without affecting installed software
IN SHORT "I NEED TO MOVE WINDOWS XP INSTALLED IN (SECONDRY PARTITION)D: TO (PRIMARY ACTIVE)C:"

No cannot because the system file will be used from Active partition and once u format the c Drive windows xp will not boot up. Copy the data try fresh installation of windows Xp on C.

for that u have to delete and then make the partition with the amount of GB or MB u want, in which it is already running, after that select the partition in which u want to install the windows.Then follow the normal procedure of installing windows.
it is done. If u persist any problem call me on 9868821322

And thats why XP and Vista choose plenty section. God the others have not were given any clue The question Is why XP makes use of plenty section?

Not possible as system files are in their respective folder during the time of installation. Rather it will give you numbers of errors. Let is remain where it is at the moment.
I would recommend dont uninstall win98 as having to operating systems are good sometime, as some old useful application are not compatible in XP so you can run those in Win98.

Hi buddy, first of all understand that OS is not just a file to cut copy or paste. You cannot just move it here and there.
I dont want to go deep. What u r asking cannot be done at any cause. Just uninstall the OS in the D drive and then again install the OS in C drive.

Just rename the partitions, i.e., rename c to d and d to c.
