I have a compaq that came pre loaded with ME I upgraded to XP home and it installed on the "recovery" drive. I want to get rid of ME and just work with XP instead of having the option of two operating systems. Of course the "recovery" drive is now giving me a low space warning. How do I re-partition my drive to one large drive, or do I uninstall XP and try to reinstall on the larger drive?
