Hi, I have two hard disks which are partitioned as follows:

First harddisk 12 GB which contained the Windows XP OS
- C: drive

Second harddisk 40 GB partitioned
- D: Drive 20GB
- E: Drive 20 GB

However, my C drive space is running low and there are constant problems to my PC. As such, I have intention of installing my Windows XP OS to D: as it has higher disk space.

My question-

1. Can I just simply insert the windows OS disk and install the OS to D: drive?
2. Do I need to uninstall windows from C: first before installing OS to D:?
3. If I do not uninstall OS from C:, will there be conflict between C: and D: upon completion of the installtion of D: windows OS when I boot up my PC?
4. Any other advices?

Thank you, pals. Appreciate your prompt reply....:)
Thank you.
 
Thanks, Emperor. Appreciate yout reply.

Can I install my OS in D Drive as it has a bigger disk space?

and do I still need to format/ uninstall OS from C drive if I install OS to D drive?
 
Yes you can install it on the D: drive and still have it installed on the C: but that might be viewed as illegal since it would be installed twice.
 
You could also just reinstall Windows to C: again, as mentioned, and then keep all your documents/media files on D:. It's simplest to keep your OS on the C drive. That way, you could make a nice sized page file as well.
