Two copies of XP on a comp. How do I get rid of the second?? We tried to do a repair install (yuk) and it installed a second copy. How do I get rid of it??
Can I install XP on as many partitions as I want without worrying about activation?
Yes. As long as XP is installed on a partition on the same computer, you can install it as many times as you want. You can activate XP on each partition without a problem.
That's all it says about it but it seems reasonable to me. It is still on the one computer.
there is a choice on loadup about picking a folder to load windows into if it detects a version already there.....
asked you if you like to can load over top of old or create new......
personally i dont suggest dumping another version on top of an old version, cause if you have files protected and the user gets deleted, your files are gone forever.
We formatted and reinstalled. The only way I could for mat the 30gig remaining was to install XP on it as well, then delete the windows folder on that partition. Not how do I get rid of the dual boot menu?

Actually, if you do that (although i'm not suggesting anyone does) you can still access the protected files/folders of a previous user account because they dont get deleted. But you have to boot into safe-mode and take ownership of the files/folder.
Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
