Dual Boot

[Tcole]

I was having some performance issues and wanted to
reinstall Win XP. When I did, I thought that I was
installing over my current installation. Turns out that I
have two copies on my HD and when it boots, it asks which
copy to boot to. How can I remove the new copy and avoid
this boot issue.

Please see if the following helps:

one I don't need?"

You're welcome Terry.

Is there a way to reinstall XP and keep all my files
intact without this problem. That's what I thought I was
doing the first time.

Hi

You can perform a 'Repair' install of XP, which should retain all your
files, programs and settings. That is dependent on which type of XP CD you
have. The following article by Michael Stevens will help you:
