Default Removing 2nd disk drive

I have a dual boot PC. It has two disks. One is a 15 GB disk that is
set up to look like C:, E:, and F:. The other is a 1 GB disk that is
D:. Win98 is on C: and WinXP is on E:.
I want to remvoe the 1 GB drive. (I will later replace the 15 GB drive
with a bigger one.)
In the past, I have tried simply disconnecting the 1 GB drive, but
that did not work.
I think that either the system would not boot or I got to a place
where it needed the D: drive.
How can I go about removing the 1 GB drive?
To reply directly to me, replace all 'z' with 'a' in email address.

Default Re: Removing 2nd disk drive

In boot.ini on C:\, replace rdisk(2) with rdisk(1).
