De-installation of parallel windows XP-Versions

[Guest]

After reformating the harddisc from scratch, I've added three partitons.
While I was partitionning (using the XP-CD), new versions of windows XP were
installed. So actually my PC has 3 parallel installed Versions of Windows XP:
my original version (personallized) and two neutral versions. But only my
original installation has got all my personal settings.
When booting, the system asks me, which version of XP to use. This is
annoying and disturbing. How can I deinstall the 2 newly installed versions
in a safe way, means by avoiding problems wth my original version?
P.S. I'm using windows XP SP2. In the windows explorer I can detect the 3
versions as "windows", "windows.0" and "windows.1"

Go to Start > Run and type: MSCONFIG , and hit enter.
Click on the BOOT.INI tab and then click on "Check All Boot Paths"
to delete incorrect boot paths.

I have two installations of XP on the same partition
