If you want to repartition and format the hard drive, boot the system with a Windows 98 boot disk and type fdisk which will bring you to the screen you will need to define the partitions for your system. Then format and reinstall your O/S of choice. This will get rid of the dual boot issue, provided you wipe out all partitions with fdisk. If it's still a problem, try fdisk /mbr which rewrites the master boot record of the drive.

CHEERS TheOgre. I was thinking it would be something like that. You gave me the confirmation that i needed.

No worries :)

If you still need help, let me know.

Cheers.

eerrr.... uummm......

Is Windows Me actually ON the drive or is it just reporting the option at boot up? If there aren't two Windows folders, it's not on there and there's no need to format.

A simple file edit would be all that's necessary in that event!

Considering it's a used system with someone else's version/license of XP, and according to rellie1977 he wanted to format the drive anyway, it's HIGHLY ADVISABLE that the drive get reformatted. Plus, there's no worries of whether or not the system is infected with viruses, malware, etc. if a clean O/S is installed on a fresh partition.

Exactly!

I saw no mention there that rellie1977 actually has a Windows CD there, people. I try not to jump to conclusions straight off

A quick edit to 'boot.ini' might be all that's needed here!

o.k ladies and gentlemen.

The problem is solved i just re-formated it simple! Installed what i wanted..

All Is good case closed
