Ok, I have a C and D drive. I wanted to dedicate 10 gigs of space to a windows 98 partitionm and used my c drive when I should have used my d drive. ANyways, it screwed my computer over because when the computer would boot up it would detect the empty 10 gigs of space as the main c drive, and the acronis os selector would not pop up so that I could choose a different os.
So I tried installing windows 98 but it kept not working, so I was like "fine" and put windows xp on the 10 gig partition. When I did that it allowed to to boot to either windows xp partition on the c drive (the old and the new one I just made), so I booted to my origninal windows xp partition. When I got in there I went ahead and deleted the 10 gig partition I made, set it up as an NTFS drive, and tried to transfer that space back (I did not want to lose 10 gigs over nothing). When I did that I got into serious trouble because then BOTH partitions were not working.
So at this point I went ahead and loaded windows xp onto my D drive. When I did that I put Acronis OS selector onto it and when I did that I was able to get back onto my original partition on the c drive.
So, long story short. Here I am with the following:

Disk 1
Drive D has 57.27GB of total space with 24.28 GB of free space
Disk 2
Fat 16 Partition (39.9mb)
Drive C has 149 GB total with 90 GB of free space
Unallocated (15.69mb)
What I want to do is get rid of that unallocated partition all together and put the space back into my c drive. I also want to still install windows 98, but use my d drive. Dont forget that my d drive now has windows xp on it.
Sorry if its all confusing, but it was a crappy night going through all this stuff 🙁
