I recently did a "new" install of Windows XP Pro on my
machine.

How do I uninstall my previous operating system - Windows
2000 Pro?

Thanks
 
Looks like my original never made it:
Format the 2000 partition

With the very limited information you supplied, it is hard to specifically
give an answer. Did you install XP to a new folder on the same partition as
2000? Did you install XP to another partition? I will give you a couple of
links that may address the configuration, but post back with more detail if
you need more help. You can also check other solutions on the same web page.

I have two installations of XP on the same partition.......

Weird - it showed up here then when I clicked it I got the "This message is
no longer available" message. Thanks though

Good point-

Copy NTLDR, BOOT.INI and NTDETECT.COM to the XP partition, format the 2000
partition, then copy the files back to C:. You might also want to edit
boot.ini to take out the 2000 line.

Good catch CZ
