Some how I have loaded Windows 2000 twice on my system and
I want to delete one. Can anyone help me figure out how
to delete one of these programs?

Thanks
Shelby
 
I may be misunderstanding the question--and I've posted the below response
already, but here it is again:

There's no way to "clean" remove one of the two Windows 2000 installations
if you installed to the same partition (drive).

You can delete the appropriate systemroot folder (i.e. if you've installed
to \winnt and \winnt2, you can delete \winnt2 and keep winnt) and modify the
boot.ini to remove the extra entry.

If both installs are new, then I suggest that you do
another install and this time choose format.
This will wipe out both old installs and install new.
