two copies of XP pro on same drive

[Guest]

How can I remove one copy of XP - I had some problems and inadvertenly installed another copy of XP on drive C - I named it Windows2 - every time I reboot it asks which one I want to use - can I delete the Windows2?

Go to Start > Run and type in: MSCONFIG , and hit enter,
Click the BOOT.INI tab.
Next, click "Check All Boot Paths".
This procedure should correct your BOOT.INI file.
