Hi guys,
At the moment i have 2x 1b hard drives. One is just for backup and the other one is split like this:
0 - XP
1 - 7
2 - just files and some installed programs
now when i originally did the installation windows 7 was relatively new and so i wanted XP on the machine as well. I put XP on drive 0 because it was much easier to get an OS choice prompt at boot with XP as the primary drive.
Anyway, i've got to a stage now where i don't ever use XP, i'm running out of space on the 7 drive and i've taken as much available space as i can from the XP drive to supplement the space on 7. What i want to do is take a ghost of the 7 drive, format the 7 and XP drive and merge them together and then put the ghost image back on thus giving me more space. Is this going to work with the boot records?
Any advice?
