[resolved] remove dual boot XP on same drive

kirsten514 · 07-17-2005, 10:15 AM

I have 2 working XP Home Edition operating systems in the same partition. One is in the C:/WINDOWS folder, and the other one is in a C:/WINDOWS1 folder. I want to remove the one in WINDOWS1 without disturbing the other one. How can I do this??
Thanks for any help!!
