HELP! I am NOT computer savvy. I have a laptop that has Win2KPro on it and
I installed Windows XP from a valid reinstallation disk with the COA. When I
installed the XP I didn't know to make a separate partition so they are on
the same one.

Now I have two OS when I start up my computer and I have 30 seconds to choose
one. It literally takes hours to start up.....booted up at 8:00 pm and
didn't get into the computer until 7:00 am in safe mode.

I want to delete Win2KPro and just run on XP but it takes so long to get
anywhere to do anything.

What can I do? Should I reformat my C:/ drive? If so how do I do that so
that I am able to reinstall Windows XP? OR Shoudl I just delete the Win2KPro?
If so how do I do that?

Remember I am not computer savvy so I will probably need step by step
instructions so I don't screw it up any further.

key for password,type:DiskPart In DiskPart delete the partition(s),create
one,
