I have had three Emails telling me how to change the Boot Up System and I thank you.
Now if someone can tell me how to get Windows XP Prof uninstalled from my second hard drive (my spare 60gb New Volume drive) I would be very happy.
Thank you

Once again,someone else here may have a better idea...but what i would do is boot to windows using the 40 gig and transfer any data from the 60 to the 40 that you may want to keep.Format the 60 gig.The easiest way,perhaps not the best,would be to go to "My Computer" (after moving anything you want to keep) right click on the 60 gig drive,select format.

It all depends what you've installed onto the drive you don't want anymore, but you may not need to format. Windows basically lives in the 'windows' folder, with some programs in the 'program files' folder and users in the 'documents and settings' folder. If you delete these 3 folders from the 60Gb then you've basically deleted that copy of windows. Just make sure you haven't got any programs or files installed in any of these folders before wiping them :)
