I did many unintellegent things in a row, so here is what happened; i am running Windows XP Pro, and i kept getting the message saying i have disabled drivers. They were the drivers for my CD writer program (Easy CD Creator 3 and DirectCD). Anyway, one day i decided just to delete the drivers. Well, they made my cd-roms not work. And i thought could not repair the problem from CD, because the CD-ROM didn't work and could not find drivers that worked on the net. I started the comp the next day, and i noticed i could boot from CD. I created a partition because i could not chance losing my fianl projects for class. So now i have two partitions, but that isn't the full problem. I thought you could just get rid of the other partition by deleting the windows folder. i was wrong. Now I can't start it up in the old partition now. The one i using now works fine, i just am using twice the needed disk space. How can i get rid of this without losing the data on the partition i am on now.

UPDATE ON PROB: May not be Partitioned, i just booted from CD, and i think i just have two operating systems on one partition, i'd like to remove the old one OS. I hope this helps.

number one easy cd creator 3 will not work on xp there is the first reason easy cd creator 5 with the xp upgrade is the only program that will work

bite the bullet,for doing the incorrect thing, save what you need to cdr's and do clean install of xp, p.s. i would create multiple partitions and put data on seperate partition than op system, then next time you have fubar in o.s. no data has to be backed up as it would not be affected by format reinstall of o.s. partition
