Hi Guys,
This is probably a fairly straight forward answer to this and I hav
searched the forum but can't find someone with exactly the same proble
so I thought the best thing to do was post a new thread.
My brother has a dell laptop which came pre installed with windows X
Home edition when he brought it. Some time ago he had some problem
with it and because he could not find his recovery CD at the tim
someone gave him a different copy of windows XP Pro which he tried t
load because the serial number that he was given was incorrect it di
not complete the installation.
After speaking to Dell they sent him out the restore CD which loade
the XP Home Edition on which works fine but on boot up it give you th
option of booting into either.
What is the best was to remove the uncompleted installation of window
XP pro? I don't really want to chance going into it and getting stuc
in a loop at the serial number stage which is what happened before. I
there a way of finding of the default location that it install XP Pr
to and deleting the directory.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance
