I installed a second instance of WinXP on my PC to try and troubleshoot
a problem with the original. Well I finally got the original working
(and annoyingly realized there was no need to install the second
instance at all if I had done as I was told the first time around). :)
Anyway. I need to get the second installation off the machine. Right
now it boots up fine and I've eliminated the choice from the startup
menu. It immediately boots to the right one. What's the best way to go
about removing the second installation though? Do I just delete the
root windows folder (which I called WinXP) along with the line in the
boot.ini?

TIA,
Bill
 
Yes, to both. Be careful when editing Boot.ini. Make sure you get the
right OS. Safest way is just to change timeout=1
