Uninstalling multiple XP Home Edition operating systems.

Guest

I've managed to install 2 additional XP operating systems instead of
repairing the failed ( origional XP operating system ) when booting from the
system recovery disk.
Does any one know how to uninstall the 2 additional operating systems
completely.
Both additional operating systems are functional. The only problem is that
all of my other software and data is on the origional operating system.
Neither operating system can be removed from the control panel add remove
software.
Nor will it be able to uninstall when booting the system up in safe mode
with the command prompt, cd\windows\system32 then osuninst.exe will not be
found.
I would really be disappointed if I had to reformat the drive and start from
scratch.
Any suggestions would be more that helpful. Thanks.

Apply these directions twice:

Would you please also post here the contents of your
C:\boot.ini file (copiable with Notepad) and the names
of any folders beginning with "WINDOWS" at that
same level in the file structure.
