Answer» How can I uninstall of two OS in my computer? Please repeat the question?
Thanks
Tony sORRY FOR THE MIX UP. I DIDNT NOTICE THAT MY NUMERIC PAD IS NOT WORKING.
ANYWAY, MY QUESTION SHOULD HAD BEEN, "HOW TO UNINSTALL ONE OF TWO OS IN MY COMPUTER?"
There was a time when my computer prompted me to reboot with the OS CD and I did and later when I restarted the computer, the computer is asking which of the 2 OS will I use and they are both OS with the same name maybe of different version only.
Since it is eating up my memory I want to uninstall anyone of the two.
Thank you for whatever help you can give.
PeritoWe will need to know what operating systems you have installed and which one you wish to uninstall.hmm....i'm not sure if having a dual boot actually takes up memory.
i think one of the 2 OSs remains dormant whilst the other is in use.
so...if it's your memory you're worried about, i'm not sure if it's the dual-boot which is causing it.JXY, Like many new computer users, when Perito says "memory" I think he means "disk space", not RAM.
Perito, if you have a file C:\BOOT.INI maybe you could copy it on here for us?
And also look in Windows Explorer to see how the Windows directories are labelled... Post that info here as well.Hello everyone and thanks to all who responded. It is really my pleasure to thank you all.
Anyway, my systems are XP, so if the computer at the start would ask me which of the OS I would prefer to use I would just press enter anyway they are the same but of different versions only probably. What I would like to do is not to opt for any of the two just like when I open up other computers I am using elsewhere.
I am also not good with computer for files you want me to paste for you. Sorry. I am not that good to search for that file.
TEaching me how to fish is one of my favorite doctrine too.
Well I hope you can help me.
A million thanks to all of you who found time to share their precious moments for me.
Perito from the Philippines.wow...sentimental.
go to my computer > C Drive > search for the folder named "WINDOWS" and check the labels inside it.yes sentimental for I thought very few would respond because this querry is free.
I share my time and money to the poor and the sick children too.
Anyway, I cannot understand what you mean by "labels". I do not know what i am looking for under windows.
ThanxGo to Start/Search and type in boot.ini and hit Enter. When the file comes up right click and open it with Notepad. Copy and paste it and post it here... DO NOT make any changes to it until we've had a looksee...Go to following website: http://ezinearticles.com/?How-To-Remove-One-Operating-System-from-a-Dual-Boot-Windows-XP-Computer&id=52280
Your problem should be fixed if you follow those directions. In his instructions he mentions there being 2 different partitions and suggests formattung... Let's wait and see if this is the case here. I don't believe it is...

Right, that instructions I posted should work IF Perito's SITUATION is same / similar enough.
Patio, does double OS dual booting take up space, meaning... on a 200 gb hard drive, let's say one OS takes 40 gb and the second one takes another 40gb, LEAVING only 120gb of space left to store files and programs?
Does that EVER happen or no?

each OS takes up as much space as it would if it was the only one. So two will take up twice as much. My XP install is only 12 GB and it's been growing for 6 YEARS.
