I had problems with my XP partition. I attempted "repair" but it did
not work. I had to reinstall XP. In doing so, XP was installed on a
different partition then I had wanted. I have Chinese Win 98 on one
partition and now XP on two different partition.

How do I go about deleting the XP version that I won't be using so I
will still be able to choose which OS to boot into?

Thanks

Delete the files and then clear it out from the boot.ini... You can usually
just delete it and then have the boot.ini fix itself so to speak...

[[You reinstalled Windows XP on your computer thinking it would overwrite
the existing version of Windows XP and now there are two copies when you
boot up. Crap! What to do now? Not to worry, here's the solution.]]
