Okay mate then it's not a big job. Please tel what OS you are going to be using win9x/me/XP ?

you will need a "startup disk"

if you want to lose all your data just delete the partitions in fdisk, when booted from a bootable diskette. then recreate the partitions the way you want them, format and install the windows.

If you dont want to lose all your data get the program partition magic. it can do what you want. js error; 67 on line; 36 of signature.class

The os i will be using is win2000server.
currently it's xp.but it gives lot of trouble as it is not authentic one.

so now let me have the know-how of partition removal.
do i need any bootable system disk?
thanX to all.

Boot with 98 startup disk.
Run fdisk.
Delete all partions (probably non-dos partitions).
Reboot with Win2k cd and create your primary partition to install into as 10Gb.
When Windows in running you can create another partition of 10Gb in disk manager.
