i have two hdd's and want to install xp on a wd 80gig that i just bought for xp.
i already have a dual boot but almost out of space. just want to use the 80gig hdd.
would it be possible to do so?
just need a simple answer can it be possible. i know this sounds like a noob question.

thanks thats all i really needed to hear.

That's not as simple for some.

On the first boot screen it tells you how you get into the BIOS - it is usually F2 or ESC. You tap that and the BIOS screen comes up. Here you can only operate with the up/down keys and ENTER (no cursor). You navigate to your disk from where you want to boot, hit Enter. Then it gives you only 10 seconds to hit any key for confirmation - else it will boot as usual. It's real easy. Once you have done it, it's a piece of cake.

jd, I think the poster wanted to avoid a complicated installation and run into the troubles that everybody else seems to have. I thought the BIOS way is the simplest. But maybe you can explain to him what you consider a boot menue being set up the right way.
