Question XP/98 Dual Boot - Disable?

I currently have Win98 ( C: ) and Win XP( D: ) in a dual boot setup.

D: is slowly dying and I'd like to replace C: altogether (small).

Can I disable the dual boot and replace C: and D: with just one drive using Ghost or some other SW to prevent losing all of my settings and SW setups, etc?

Any advice would be great!

Thanks!

Separate?

Apologies...

Yes, C: and D: are separate drives. (IDE, non-RAID)

Thanks,
Jonby

The best thing to do is use drive imaging/copying software (such as Ghost) that can clone each drive to a partition on a new single drive.
