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 Wink

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.

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.
