To be honest--this is completely uncharted territory for me!  I do not know where to begin.

I can only offer 20/20 hindsight--if it had been me, I would, prior to making any major changes, create a Ghost image of the currently working system--personally, I use *whole* drive images and not individual partition images--*whole* drive images seem to offer a safer route to restoring if the Master Boot Record gets trashed--or similar issues. 

Then proceed to make changes.  If I discover that a problem was created by my efforts, I'd boot to DOS Ghost, restore my good, working OS, and start the changes again--trying to avoid the problem that was created the last time.
