As the subject says I have 2 Microsoft XP programs
installed onto my computer, and when I boot up I have to
select one. How can I remove one of the installations?
 
Go to Start > Run and type in: MSCONFIG , and hit enter,
Click the BOOT.INI tab.
Next, click "Check All Boot Paths".
This procedure should correct your BOOT.INI file.

Johnny, find out which one you want to remove and from the other XP you
can delete the Windows Folder and any other
folders associated with the Version you want to remove. To change the
Boot.ini file rt click on MyComputer>select Prop>
Advanced>Startup and Recovery-Settings>Edit. Change the timeout=30
value to 1.
