So I had an issue with win XP and I had to reinstall it. Well my first
reinstall I put it in fold C:Windows2 because I didn't want to destroy the
"My Documents" part from the first one. (You know, when you get the option to
overwrite the original it "may" delete the my documents.) Well it went well
and I now I want to wipe out the first windows xp. When you load the
computer up, it gives me an option to which windows xp I want to start up. I
want to get rid of the second one because its just eating up space.

So basically, how do I delete the second windows xp on my one hard drive? I
can't load the second xp because it was corrupt. ( No safe mode either )
