I have an IBM laptop that came with Windows 98.  Most of
my new programs like XP.  The original hard drive was
partitioned into C with 2 gigs and D with 6 gigs.  XP
upgrade wouldn't install as the error kept tellimg me
there was not enough drive space even though there was
according to the space shown.  It seems if I had only one
c drive with 8 gigs everything would be fine.  If that is
a correct assumption could somebody tell me how to
partition using F Disk, or where to go to get the
information how to do it.
Thanks.

Assuming you have any info you need...backed up...
from the XP installation you will be given an option to delete all
partitions...
then you can create one large partition using the entire drive

a clean install is generally a better choice than an upgrade...
however you may want to check your hardware compatability first
