Remove Windows 2000 Advanced Server from single partition dual-boot (XP) machine

[Derek Williams]

I got a new server and put Windows Server 2003 on it. I
wanted to make my old 2000 Advanced Server a client
machine, but REALLY didn't want to wipe out everything on
it, so I simply installed XP Pro over the top. Now both
OS's are available when I boot up and I want to remove
the Windows 2000 Advanced Server OS, not just from the
boot directory, but from the system. How can I do this?

There won't be a clean break as the OS's will share some objects. Best to
start a new install of Windows XP
