Removing a dual-boot

[dysangel]

I have three partitions on my HD. WinMe is on c:, XP is on d:, and e: is where I load all my programs. Most of them were installed using ME. If I remove ME, how do I get XP to recognize them? Will I have to reinstall? Can I copy my ME start menu to XP?

Your programs will need to be reinstalled.

How do I remove an OS from dual boot?

Thanks! I'll probably reinstall to a different folder and then copy saved games and such to the new folder. I'll reformat my c:\ and load them there once I get rid of ME. Should I convert my partitions to NTFS when I'm done?

Should I convert my partitions to NTFS when I'm done?

Yes, its recommended specially from a security point of view. Note: you don't have to convert the whole harddrive to NTFS if you got several partitions. You can read more about NTFS here FAT32 vs NTFS.
