Hi there,

I have a dual-boot system with two drives (C and D, respectively) with 2k on the C drive which was installed first and Mandrake on the D drive.

I want to format the D drive to remove Linux but the bootstrap loader was installed on this drive and formatting the drive will leave me unable to access the 2k drive.

I don't really want to format both drives so if any of you know a way of getting round this I'd be grateful. The drives are configured on the primary IDE channel as master and slave.

I have Partition Magic but I can't find any options in there which are likely to help.

cheers!
