Um, right folks, didn't know this was possible, but I now have 2 WinXP Pros on the same drive![]()
I'd spent some time (and CDs) trying to slipstream SP2 and make the CD bootable. Having succeeded, then tried Fred Langa's non-destructive total rebuild.
Somewhere in the procedure I went wrong and XP installed to C:\WINDOWS.0, giving me a boot option as well (this is a nuisance as it delays boot and, if ignored, boots to the wrong XP). The original XP is alive and 'well'.
Now, as I've managed to ignore my mantra of 'if you can't fix it don't break it' and Plan B isn't yet, er, a plan, any ideas on how to uninstall the second OS, please? Apart from anything else, it's taking up 1.14GB (about a Gig less than updating to SP2, so A Good Thing© for future use.
Thanks,
Peter.

Anyone know any tricks to clean it up? Operating systems don't really uninstall gracefully..
