Hi All,
I was having a problem dual booting Win 98 & Win XP, so I installed a second
copy of win XP in a 2.7GB Space I had,( it currently has 204MB left) and it
fixed the boot, so now I can boot to all three. If I uninstall, will I lose
the ability to dual boot again? I could just leave it there, since I don't
intend on using it at all, I won't even do an update, but I could use the
space for the original XP since my hard drive is only 20GB and I have it
split between win 98 and Win XP Home If I have to uninstall, where or how
do I unhide the installed programs that are hidden in the ADD / Remove
Programs? Your thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

* There really isn't an uninstall. To remove it you can simply delete or
format the partition it resides on, then remove the line you no longer want
from boot.ini located in the root of the system partition.

* Not sure what you're refering to here about installed programs.
