does anyone know how to remove the second event of xp. i
accidently installed it and now every time i boot up i

appreciated.
 
Hi Joe,

Boot the installation you want to keep. Open Windows Explorer and delete the
installation you want to remove.

Start/run msconfig, go to the boot.ini tab. Click the installation you want
to keep, then click "set as default". Click apply/ok and reboot.

If all goes well (it should), go back into msconfig and on the boot.ini tab,
click on "check all boot paths" - it should offer to remove the non-existant
installation.

Hi

See if the following helps:

"I have two installations of XP on the same partition, how do I remove the one I don't need?"
