Your current C: drive is the boot device. If you remove it, you will not be
able to boot unless you install the boot loader on the D: drive. Since XP is
installed as a D: designation, you will be able to boot since much of the
operating system refers to a logical location, but support applications will
likely stop working since they will be looking for drive D:. You can fix
this by doing a search and replace in the registry, but that is a great pain
to do - I have done it before and it is primarily for those who have too
much time on their hands!

I didn't get any responses on my first post so I'm asking again. I now have
XP & 98 on 2 drives. 98 is on C: Master Drive, XP on D: Slave Drive. If I
uninstall 98, change jumpers & make D: Master with XP (the only OS), XP will
then be on C: What problems will I have with everything that used to be D:
is now going to be C: Right now everything is on D: & I don't want to mess
that up. Any thoughts or the proper procedure on this would really help.

Thanks.......Jim
