installed xp over illegal 2000 and now 2 operating systems

[Guest]

How do I get rid of the illegal 2000 that stayed on my computer after I
installed the full and legal xp?

You need to start over and install Windows XP properly
by deleting all partitions, create a new partition, format
the new partition NTFS, then install Windows XP.

Installing one OS on top of another is never a recipe for reliable
computing. A fresh install would be best.

HST, if it's just that there is a defunct reference to Win2000 when the
computer starts, that is just a matter of editing the c:\boot.ini file to
remove the offending line.

Always do this with a texteditor such as Notepad, NEVER with Word.
