Removing hard drive to keep windows xp running

[ekhan]

Hi i have 2 hard drives in my computer 1 is (c: 3GB Win 98 master) 2nd is (d:20GB win XP pro slave) how can i get rid of the 3 gb and still make the 20gb bootable to windows xp i know the pins and everything i can make the 20gb a master but it wouldn't boot up to xp though rite? so how can i make it so that i only have a 20GB hd installed and it boots on xp, do i move the 3 boot files ntdetect, ntldr and boot.ini to the d: and unplug the 3gb hard drive?

Thanks in advance

if your using ide ribbon cable you need to open up your case and switch your ide cable round so the win xp hd is the master and then set the junmper to master aswell
