Answer» I was originally running Windows 2000 on my COMPUTER. I then installed Windows XP on the computer, hoping it would override Windows 2000. It didn't, so now when I start up, it gives me the option to either start Windows 2000 or Windows XP. I was wondering how I can delete Windows 2000 from my computer and run Windows XP only because having both systems on the computer TAKES up a lot of space. Any ideas?When you go into My computer do you see two hard drives or only one? A little more info would be great. Quote When you go into My computer do you see two hard drives or only one? A little more info would be great. They share just one C drive.Sounds like you have two partitions on "c" could you not format drive and put a clean install of windows xp on it. all the info about formatting and such is on this great site so good luck got to go....So you have both operating systems installed on the one drive? You might just want to, Back up all your important files, and format the hard drive and do a clean install.Thanks for all the help. I'll definitely do that.If you need any help let us know.This should be FUN...When I changed over from XP pro to Vista Ultimate I used the vista installer to create another partition on my HD where I STORED all of my personal stuff. Then I installed Vista over the XP partition and left the partitions there. I now have an "OS" partition and a "Data" partition. Works nicely. You could also just move your data back onto the OS partition and then wipe the second partition. But that was KIND of meaningless. Just a note if you don't have enough room to back up (I had nearly 60gb). -rock |
