Title: OS trouble...
Post by: Art2Fly on July 25, 2008, 01:25:18 PM
I have a computer with 2 hard drives, and it has 2 operating systems. one is win xp and another is win xp in russian.... I want to delete the russian xp and move my english to be my main os... at this moment, i have no idea where each os is cept all i know is that on both my c and d drives theres a os.  Trouble is my russian xp has all the drivers needed just to boot my computer....

If you are unsure about what is where, all you have to do it backup your media files and wipe everything. That seems like the most logical course of action for you at this point. Also, you may want to backup your drivers ;)

also, a os doesnt boot from drivers, its all about mbr on the pc, edit that and you can get to where you can boot just the en. os. but idk how your computer will except that so back up everything

I have virtually nothing on my drives...., but i have no idea how to do this because without drivers i dont think that my pc will recognise everything on it.

just plug up the english XP one alone, it will recognize and boot up

Quick fix: wipe everything and start from scratch...


QuickER fix: get Linux  :P

how is linux a quicker fix for someone that is more familiar with windows? osx is the best fix if you can get it to run on your pc, has the best features out of any os that i have used, mainly because you can run osx and windows at the same time on the same desktop which is pretty cool.

OSX is retarded. I will always either use Windows or Linux... And it isn't that hard to learn Linux, its not rocket science.
