I have 2 versions of XP on my laptop, one on the C: drive and one on the D:
drive (expired trial version). I want to remove the one on my D: drive. How
do I do this?
 
Right-click on MY COMPUTER and select Manage.
After Computer Management opens, click on Disk Management.
In the right pane, right-click on your D: drive and select FORMAT.
After FORMATTING of your D: drive is finished, perform the
following:

Go to Start > Run and type: MSCONFIG , and hit enter.
Click on the BOOT.INI tab and then click on "Check All Boot Paths"
to delete incorrect boot paths.

If the above does not work for you, then:

Right-click MY COMPUTER and select:

Properties > Advanced > Startup and Recovery Settings > Edit

CAREFULLY edit your boot.ini file.
Your boot.ini file should then look similar to this:

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /fastdetect

Carey understands that some people make typos and adapts as any good helper
