Uninstall Windows 2000 Pro After Upgrade to XP Pro

[Guest]

Is it possible to uninstall Win2000 Pro after this upgrade? Too often, when booting up, the machine will request which system I want, with a default to XP Pro. I could sure use the disk space

Thanks

Same or separate partitions?

David, sorry it took so long to get back to you. Am recovering from back surgery. I believe the partitions are the same, as I don't remember changing them at all

Thanks

Delete the option from boot.ini located in the root of the system partition.

Explorer|Tools|Folder Options|View, then radio button for "Show hidden files
and folders", then uncheck the box for "Hide protected operating system
files" to locate the files in the system partition.

Then assuming Windows 2000 installed to \winnt and Windows XP installed to
\windows you can delete the \winnt directory.
