Without knowing i have installed windows xp 4 times in my little 20 gb
hardrive,wasting precious disk space.
How can i erase all and keep just one windows xp in the disk?
Please help ...
 
In the Run box type "msconfig", no quotes then on the BOOT.INI tab click the
"Check All Boot Paths" button.
 
Hi

If the 'Check All Boot Paths' doesn't work, could you please post the
contents of the boot.ini file?
 
Hi, Mano.

"Did not work" does not tell us much. :>(

Exactly what did you do? Exactly what results did you see?

Do all 4 choices show up in your operating system menu each time you reboot?
Can you boot to ANY of them?

Your problem MIGHT be as simple as editing C:\Boot.ini to delete the
pointers to the surplus installations, then deleting their boot folders. Or
not! But we have no way of knowing from the skimpy details you've given us
so far. Please open C:\Boot.ini in Notepad, then copy'n'paste all of it
into your next post. That will give us a place to start trying to help you.
