[desilva]

I am a Windows XP user. I am running it from my older hard drive ( IDE ) and i want to just copy it across to my Ultra 320 scsi drive to speed up things..and I ALSO wish Windows XP Professional SP2 (partition D to become my one and only master boot Drive C: and delete the original drive C:Could any one of you make me know how to do that ? Please...

You can not clone the D Partition to the C Partition as when you install XP on anything but the primary Partition it writes files to the C Drive/Partition which will be missing when you clone the Drive/Partition over to the C Drive/Partition. Your only alternative to to strip out the original XP Home and load XP Pro to the primary partition and then move all your data back there and install your software to where you want it.

What you can do the best is "move" the partition from d: to C: is to start over with fresh install on the c: partition, and copy the data you need from the d: partition.
