Hi there, I'm really in need of some help with my Windows 8.
When I installed my Windows XP, for some reason my Windows 8 moved to E: Partition, when it previously was on C: Partition, now C: Partition is a System Reserved partition.
Now what I want to know, is moving my Windows 8/E: Files to C: safe? or is there some safe way to do so? (NOTE: I don't really care if I lose Windows XP but I can't afford to lose my Windows 8 files).
Please tell me if I can move Windows 8 back to C: and keep it working.
Because when I try to boot Windows 8 it gives me some hal.dll error, error also changes when I change my boot.ini Windows 8 Partition number.
My partitions are organized as:
C: System Reserved
E: Windows 8
*: Other
H: Windows XP
* Unallocated
My boot.ini is like :
Also not sure if Windows 8 is either partition no. 1/2/3/5
By the way I'm not really sure if I'm explaining my problem really well, so if you need to know anything to help me just tell me so I can add it.
Thanks sincerely, waiting anxiously for your response.
