Setting up new hard drive or....

I have a 30 GB hard drive that has Windows millennium on C: and XP on D:

I'm running out of space. Is there a way to delete Windows millennium?

If not, can I setup a new harddrive using another computer and then install it into my regular computer when I get it "tweaked" the way I like it?

The second computer is a emachine running a Celeron processor if that makes a difference.

You can't just delete Win ME.
No you can't setup XP on another PC and bring the drive to the new PC. XP has a HASH value that is calculated at install based on the hardware you have. If you change more than a value of 7 pojnts(each item is worth diff amounts, like the NIC is 7) your XP won't work.


Best thing is to wipe the drive and start from scratch, will save you a ton of problems later.

Ten-four.
I have a "slave" that I backup to. I guess I could disconnect that and setup a new HD there so I could take my time and not have any down time and just swith back and forth until I get the new one like I want it.
