I have Win98se on "C" drive and WinXP Home on "D" drive in a dual boot
configuration using the WinXP boot loader. I no longer need Win98. I
would like to install WinXP on "C" drive, migrate applications and
data from "D" drive and then delete WinXP from "D" drive.

Is the second installation and temporary dual boot of two WinXP
systems as easy as I think?

What are issues regarding activation? Will the second installation
require activation? Or since that Product Key has already been
activated, will the "move" from "D" to "C" not be required?

Thanks for any advice, jimbo

- Yes, you can re-install WinXP on drive C:.
- You will need to re-install all your applications.
- You won't have any problems with registration, since you're
using the same hardware as before.
