Hello,

I have 2 hard drives (C: and D

and recently i have decided to reformat both of them and reinstall windows.

Well now that i reinstalled windows, everytime i turn on my computer....it asks which version of windows i want loaded...and both options are Windows XP PRofessional. I thought this is because maybe one of the hard drives still has some of the previous windows files on it. So i decided to delete everything off the C: drive, but it still does this when i boot.

Also, right now the hard drive that is C: is my smaller hard drive (30GB) and the D: is my 200GB. I would like for C to be my primary hard drive and i want it to be the 200gb hard drive. Is it possible to do this switch?
All my stuff is on the D: but whenever i want to download something, it tries to save it to the C:, so its just annoying having to change the destination all the time.
