A. WIndows is actually quite naughty - it requires drive C: for some stuff. So keep the OS on drive C: To remove the OS on the other drive, you need to delete some folders and files - let's assume it's on drive X: Folders: X:\Program Files X:\Windows X:\Documents and Settings Files (these are hidden files): X:\boot.ini X:\IO.SYS X:\MSDOS.SYS X:\NTLDR However, as mentioned above, it may be simpler to just format the disk. However, the next step is to remove the reference to the volume in the boot menu. You have to edit C:\boot.ini and remove the line that references the other OS. You will have two similar lines: multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)pa rtition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP Professional" multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)p [cont.]

A. just pull hard, if it is 1187 it will come out, there is a ball with a spring behind it, and it is stiff, so just pull hard.

A. 1. Decide what you want your OS to do. Whether it is a fully capable OS with a GUI or something a bit more minimalistic, you'll need to know what direction you are taking it before beginning. 2. Decide if you would rather do it all yourself from the ground up, or if there is an existing kernel you would like to build on top of. Linux from Scratch is a project for those that would like to build their own Linux distro. 3. Decide if you're going to create your own bootloader or a pre-created one such as GRUB. While coding your own bootloader will give a lot of knowledge of computer hardware and the BIOS, it may set you back on the programming of the actual kernel. 4. While it is possible to create an operating system in a language… [cont.]
