'Windold' folder: Upgrading motherboard

Hi there

I need expert advice: I was asked by my tech service to reinstall XPpro
after of a motherboard upgrade. They performed a full reinstallation of XP on
a new 'windows' folder (instead of reformatting the hard drive) and renamed
the old windows folder to 'windold'.
My question is, it's safe to delete this 'windold' folder? I assume it's not
needed by the system anymore... not sure.
It is taking up 4.43gb of space on the HD vs. the 3.33gb of new 'windows'
folder.

Any ideas? Thanks
 
Hi,

I'll ask them now, I thought would get additional help here first. I'll post
their response.
