One Version of WindowsXp too many
Hi, when I formatted the Partitions on my system,I inadvertently installed
another copy of WindowsXp Pro, which I do not want / do not need and do not
know how to get rid of.
Fyi, while trying to get rid of the extra version of windows, I installed
still another (a third version of WindowsXP), but somehow was able to
delete it but I still have 2 copies of WindowsXp and would appreciate help in
cleaning up my system to include only ONE copy of WindowsXp. Thank you, Bob

Google for "Edit Boot.ini"..

Also - look into how to actually perform a *clean* installation of Windows
XP.
