Two copies of Windows XP on C:

Was having some problems and hardware manufacturer
suggested reinstalling XP. In doing so, I ended up with
two copies on the same C: drive.

There are now two directories: C:\Windows and C:\windows.0

Two questions:

Can I simply delete one or the other of the directories
without screwing something else up?

If so, which one do I delete to avoid doing just that?

Anyone else faced this problem? Anyone have the answers?

Backup your data, do a format then a reinstall that would
be the cleanest way and probably a good idea to clean up
that mess. Or if you dont care delete the original
windows directory and edit the boot.ini and remove the
original installation.
