deleting extra windows xp of the same harddive?
536265
Hi, a question to you is this:\nDid you reinstall Windows XP on a different Folder or same folder WINDOWS ? \n\nI assume you did it on a different Folder, because WIndows WONT let you install windows again on the same folder. (C:/WIndows/)\n\nOkay if it is on a different folder, then delete it... And delete the old Document and Settings. That will remove the old stuff.\n\nYes, when you open up boot.ini in notepad, you can remove the boot choices, so what you did is removed the other choice inorder to boot up on one machine.\n\nOkay so you have 70GB (capcity) and it says you have 30GB free... So 40GB is gone somewhere... \n\nNow you said you have 10GB added all together.. Including windows? How did you check your space of the files?\n\nFor example my ( DOCUMENT AND SETTINGS ) + ( WINDOWS ) Folder are 5GB.\n\nYea you seem correct 10GB is for all files... \n\nSo I assume you forgot to delete the old Windows HD And Document and Settings OLD files.. You have to enable hidden files and enable show system files. You will see them there.\n\nIf not... Try reformatting your PC correctly :x  \n\nHope it works out for you

The next best way to restore your settings is to use the System Restore ability within Windows XP. Go to Start> Programs> Accessories> System Tools> "System Restore."\nHowever, this will not delete most of the files on your hard drive. If you wish to do the best kind of restore, then you'll need those disks.

Why would you want to? You can remove the other partition - your NTFS partition with Windows - using any number of partitioning tools ;-)

While reinstalling fresh windows XP, select the C drive partion to install OS, this wont delete the files on D drive, make sure you dont delete the partitions..or you have to struggle to get those files back...\n\nHowever if you have by mistake formatted the hard disk, try using some recovery softwares..\nThat would help you..

When you start the installation for XP, it'll ask you to format or remove the current partition.  You can remove all partitions and reformat this way.

There are several ways to get rid of windows xp \n\n#1 use a windows 98 boot disk and either delete it by dos commands or format the whole drive(i don't like it).\n\n#2 use a windows 98 , 2000 , ME bootable cd and install it and change windows directory while setup to windows.0 or whatever.\n\n#3 the best way and i personally use all the time is to have any recent linux live cd and boot it ... then delete everything(delete not format) then you will boot as a clean MBR... i suggest SLAX(just google it) which is very neat and fast....\n\n#4 go to program files .. then choose uninstall my windows and you are done!!!  just kidding;)\n\n#5 if you already have a multiboot .. simply use your another windows and delete the three directories ... "Documents And Settings" , "Windows" , "Program Files"..\n\nGood Luck\n\nCheers

If you did not delete the files from Windows Me during the installation, you might be able to remove Win 2000 through the "Add-Remove programs" in control panel.\n\nBut why do you want to remove it?\n2000 is better than Me as far as I know.\n\nAnd why do you have a problem with XP if you have Win 2000?

Try runnign DiskCleanup, to see if it is indeed totally full, to run click \n\n(for XP) Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup \n\nSelect your D drive, then wait a few minutes as it scans the drive for unneeded "junk" files. this can ake up to 10mins or more. \n\nOnce it's run, select teh files you wish to delete. (his will NOT delete your work, just the files windows automatically makes.) \n \nthis should free up some space on your D drive.

If you're using a system recovery CD from the manufacturer then it will probably do it for you.  If it's a Windows XP operating system CD then insert it, boot off it (you may need to change your bios settings to select the CD drive as the first boot device) and start the windows setup program.  Once in it (after hitting F8 to accept the agreement) you can select the current partition and delete it.  After deleting it then select it again and hit ENTER to install on the new partition.  After that you'll get a screen asking you how to format it.  You can select NTFS quick and that will work ok.

Go to Start/Run and enter msconfig. There will be a startup tab that lets you uncheck the stuff you don't want. You can uncheck everything and XP will still run, and go back and recheck things if something stops working right.\nThere's also the Start/All Programs/startup thing you can delete stuff from.
