 Okay when I installed Windows Media Center for some reason it installed on my D drive and it left a copy of xp home on my C drive. So when ever I start up my computer it asks me what OS it wants me to boot from and it wont let me reformat my c drive from Media Center. I am fine with my OS on D but I want to reformat my c drive so I can get that old OS out of my c drive its just hogging up hard drive space. Does that make sense? .... |
Yup. Although you could delete almost all the files on the c drive to recover the space. Or reload media center on the correct drive this time. |
Nope. You accidently set your machine up as a dual-boot system where either OS could be loaded. |
These are two partitions on the same drive, right? Windows requires that the bootloader be installed on the first partition of the hard drive. You could erase the folders on the drive, but stay away from those system files in the root directory. Or, format both during reinstall and put Media Center on the first partition. |
Funny story, but that actually does happen. When my old iMac started going downhill, swearing at it for a couple hours would actually make it work. |
