Hi, I recently had some difficulties with a Windows XP Pro SP2 installation
to where I was unable to boot into windows in any way. I created a second
install of Windows XP (in a windows2 folder) in order to get network access
back, and back up data and such to another machine. I then, reinstalled
Windows XP to the original folder and got everything back up to date, and
running. I then removed from the boot.ini the second instance of WinXP
(maybe prematurely?). I would like to remove the second windows folder
(windows2) however, any attempt to delete the folder is met with a few
seconds of seeming activity, and then it stops, and the folder remains? No
warning, or cannot delete message or anything. I've tried several ways of
doing it, other than a straight DOS delete because I'm concerned that for
whatever reason, the main XP install is using system files from that
alternate folder, and that is what is causing my issue? Can someone please
provide a little input or advise on what I should/can do? Would like to
have the space back on the HD if possible. Thanks in advance for any and
all help!

Jason
