Double Installation

[DICKW]

I ran into a problem with existing install of Win XP home
and setup failed when I tried to repair the install. I
took the option of a new install in a new directory,
which works fine. Problem is that both installs appear
at boot time and the lower version trys to go back into
the corrupt setup routine. Renaming the old win dir
stops it with an error message, but how can I safely
return to a single boot selection so I can delete the old
Win directory?

Thanks,

Dick W

Andrew, The other instance is in the same partition, just
another directory.
