O.P. RE: Dual Boot Formatting
Haha ok thanks lopardo lucky I came here before just diving into it. sounds like a bit too much of a pain to me even though i am due for a fresh install.
One more question. On my C drive where is the boot loader information kept. cos im thinking of manually getting rid of everything but it. should i keep the WINNT and WINDOWS folder in C: and thats all?
So i take it there is no way of 'uninstalling' an operating system?
Is there a way of editing the boot file so that it wont ask which operating system to start instead just load xp. At the moment it has xp selected automatically and waits 25 secs in case you want to select another.

Oh another question that is sort of not related but still sorta is :S
I have bought Norton Internet Security and had it for a while. it has been installed twice on this computer (2nd time after fresh install) and i tried also installing it on another computer in the house but the third time it wouldnt work. I figured they have a limit on the number of computers it is allowed to be installed on...oh well. but the problem is, if i fresh install once again XP on this laptop and try to put norton back on. will it not let me because its already been installed twice before?? I really want to keep this so at the moment norton is the only thing that is stopping me from a much needed fresh XP install.

Thanks everyone
Daniel
