I have two installations of Windows/Windows XP on the same partition.......
#20 on the FAQ list

"I have two installations of XP on the same partition........"

1.. Boot to the desired version of Windows XP you want to keep. Making
note of the position in the boot menu. This will be important when you edit
boot.ini.
2.. Open a command prompt * and type " echo %windir%" without the quotes.
This will give you the current Windows folder you are using.
c.. From Explorer, delete the folder containing the installation you want
to remove. The original install folder is usually called Windows and
subsequent folders will be derivatives of Windows or Winnt.
d.. From System Properties [Winkey+Pause/Break] > Advanced Tab > Statup
and Recovery > Settings > Edit.
e.. Select the Edit button and from notepad, first backup boot.ini, by
going to File; Save As and rename boot.ini. to something like boot.inibak.
f.. Remove the line referencing the installation not chosen; you made note
of in step one.
g.. Set timeout=0 so the system boots directly into Win XP (you will not
get the boot menu).
h.. Save As boot.ini & Exit.
i.. Reboot.
* To access the command prompt: Start>All Programs>Accessories>Command
Prompt or from Start>RUN>Type "CMD" without the quotes, then press OK.
