I'd use the part that *is* working, and make a backup to CDs or to a
logical partition of your essential files, and then boot from the Windows
CD, and delete the primary partition (not the logical partition if you
created one) and just start fresh. What you want in the end is just one
properly functioning version of Windows, and this will prove to be the
cleanest way to get it. Use the Repair Console to manage the operation of
deleting the primary partition. You may need a partition management tool
like Partition Magic in order to creater a logical partition if this is
where you want to store backup files.
