What steps to take in order to delete one copy of win2000
from the hard drive. When I boot it gives 2 choices to
choose from to boot and they are both windows 2000 (they
both work. Win2000 was reinstalled due to tech problems.
I would prefer to keep the second choice. This has taken
alot of room from may hard drive and my computer is
running slow.
 
You'll need to edit the hidden boot.ini file to delete the references to the
copy that you want to delete. Then delete the folders that contain it. Are
you sure that you just aren't seeing multiple options in the boot menu, but
there is only a single installation?

Click to expand...

If you installed both to the same partition, I think you'll have to start
over from scratch.
