I have two installations of XP on the same partition, how do I remove
        the one I don't need?
      
        1. Boot to the desired version of Windows XP you want to keep. 
           Making note of  the position in the boot menu. This will be 
           important when you edit boot.ini.
           
        2. Open a command prompt * and type "echo %windir%" without the 
           quotes but with the %. This will give you the current Windows 
           folder you are using.
            
        3. From Explorer, delete the folder containing the installation you
           want to remove. The original install folder is usually called 
           Windows and subsequent folders will be derivatives of Windows 
           or Winnt.
              
        4. From System Properties [Winkey+Pause/Break] > Advanced Tab > 
           Statup and Recovery > Settings > Edit.
            
        5. Select the Edit button and from notepad, first backup boot.ini, 
           by going to File; Save As and rename boot.ini. to something like 
           boot.inibak.
            
        6. Remove the line referencing the installation not chosen; you made 
           note of in step one.
             
        7. Set timeout=0 so the system boots directly into Win XP (you will 
           not get the boot menu).
            
        8. Save As boot.ini & Exit.
         
        9. Reboot.
         
          * To access the command prompt: Start>All Programs>Accessories>Command 
          Prompt or from Start>RUN>Type "CMD" without the quotes, then press OK.
