>>I have a pc that has a 20Gb drive. It was partitioned to have two logical drives C: (about 17Gb) and D: (about 3Gb). I think I partitioned it but don't remember how and with what. I had XP Pro installed in partition C:. and all kind of old program files. I thought that if I reinstall XP it will clean up the drive and I will have one logical partition. But now, I just noticed that I have two copies of XP installed, one on C, one on D.

When I boot the pc, it is using drive C or D. I think I can change the option somewhere in setup of the pc to boot from CD, right?
