How do I remove a 2nd win2000 installation from a current win2000 installation?

I was trying to recover my windows 2000 system and in the
process installed a second copy of windows 2000
under "c:\tempwinnt". Now that I have my original
windows 2000 (c:\winnt) working again, how do I uninstall
the other windows 2000 copy? I noticed that the second
installation did more than just put files
under "c:\tempwinnt". There are also files
under "c:\Documents and Settings" and who knows what
else. Will someone please tell me all the files that
need to be removed, any registry adjustments that need to
be made, etc.?

Thanks.

Just delete the temp directory you made and the entries in the boot.ini and
you should be fine.

Delete c:\tempwinnt. If you like then you can also delete
extra profile folders in c:\documents and settings. There
are only two you must keep: "All Users", and "Default User".

There is no need to make any adjustments to the registry.
