HELP NEEDED
I am using an IBM R52 Notebook which came from IBM with Windows XP
Professional preinstalled. I ran into some big problems and had to have
Staples work on the machine. They were unable to help me and determined that
it was dead. I could not accept that and started to try a bunch of things
like installing a copy of Windows XP Home edition and trying repeatedly to
get the IBM rescue program to reinstall the preinstalled Windows XP
Professional.
The result is that I now have two copies of Windows XP Professional and a
copy of Windows XP Home Edition which show up each time I boot my machine! I
now need to remove the Windows XP Home Edition and one copy of the Windows XP
Professional BUT I can't figure out how to do this. They do not show up on
the Add and Remove section so I can't remove them that way. Clearly I need
some help.
Perhaps there is a genius out there who can help a non-tech type like me.
Obviously these extra OS programs are demanding a large space on my 'C' drive.
