If I moved my old BootCamp folder on my Mac drive to my BootCamp partition, would t damage Windows XP? In NTFS I cannot do the transfer so need to boot into XP to do it. This will free 14GB's on my Mac.

Thanks..

You could try software such as Winclone to clone the XP, start Bootcamp, create partition, leave Bootcamp and run Winclone. Have never found it successful alas and always do a clean install.

Using OS X.7 or later make a bootable USB thumb drive before running Installer!*
