2 version of Win2000 on the same drive

[Guest]

I had accidentally installed another copy of Window 2000 on the same partition. Can someone guide me on uninstalling a version of it?

Hi Isaac,

You should be able to boot to the original installation and then simply drag
the "mistake windows" folder to the recycle bin. You can edit the boot.ini
in the root of C: and change the Default line to point to the correct
windows folder and remove the "mistake windows" line under [Operating
Systems]

boot.ini? I cannot find that in Windows 2000. What is
the full path?

It's in the C root. C:\ Make sure that you have Show hidden & system
files enabled.

Its in the root, like any hidden file, you won't see it without viewing
those files(Explorer / view menu / folder options / View tab / Show all
files). Remember to reset the attributes when done. For the record, those
attributes should be read-only, hidden and system.
