I had to reinstall XP professional and then overwrote the
original XP professional. So currently I have 2 versions
of XP installed. How do I uninstall or delete one of my
XP operating systems from my hard drive?
 
When u installed windows for the second time did it
install to a different folder. i.e. u have a Windows
folder and maybe a winXP folder? if u dont have two
windows type folders u really just have one installation
of XP.

Get the manufacturer's name of your harddrive, go to

their website and download Partition Magic to repartition
the HD. It is small, fits on 3 1/2 inch floppy and is
FREE. And you'll have choice to delete the old XP, do a
complete format of the HD and reinstall XP Pro.

Say what? Partition Magic is not a free program and is not distributed by
hard drive manufacturers. It is not necessary to use Partition Magic to
repartition if you plan to do a clean install.
