Alright, so here's a long story short:
I got a new 120GB harddrive and was attempting to get everything from my old one to my new one exactly how it is, but with different partition sizes. It turned into a nightmare and I spent hours figuring everything out/formatting/partitioning/ghosting, etc. Finally I think I got it ALMOST how I want it on the new drive.
Only problem is, now in disk management, my C: drive is the "boot volume" and my D: drive (the second, smaller partition of the main drive used for backup) is the "system volume." Before, I believe my C: was both the system and boot volume. There's nothing on the D: drive except some files that I copied, along with the system_volume_information and RECYCLER folders. Not sure how they got there, but I'm sure that's because it's the "system boot volume." How can I designate my C: drive as both the system and boot volume? Is that even possible? I already manged to change my D: drive letter (previously H) using the registry. Now I just want to get all the other crap off of there.
Oh yeah, tried formatting it... it got to the end and said it couldn't format it. Perhaps if I ghost it from my other harddrive's backup partition that'll do the trick??
