Uninstalling XP professional

[Tim G]

I had to reinstall XP professional and then overwrote the
original XP professional. So currently I have 2 versions
of XP installed. How do I uninstall or delete one of my
XP operating systems from my hard drive?

When u installed windows for the second time did it
install to a different folder. i.e. u have a Windows
folder and maybe a winXP folder? if u dont have two
windows type folders u really just have one installation
of XP.

their website and download Partition Magic to repartition
the HD. It is small, fits on 3 1/2 inch floppy and is
FREE. And you'll have choice to delete the old XP, do a
complete format of the HD and reinstall XP Pro.

Say what? Partition Magic is not a free program and is not distributed by
hard drive manufacturers. It is not necessary to use Partition Magic to
repartition if you plan to do a clean install.
