Hi.
Due to many and various problems with my COMPUTER, I have, over time tried a number of reinstalls. I am now in the position of having six Windows XP on my computer. Can anybody tell me a simple way to get rid of at least four of them?

As I'm not that CLEVER with computers, any replies in simple speak would be much appreciated.

Many thanks.
Hecate.

Win XP home.- MoBo ASUS A8N5X.- Amd Athlon 64-3200.- NVIDIA GeForce 6 200 Cache.I'm not even going to ask why you did it the way you did - but I can tell you if it were my system I'd format and start from scratch.

Having said that, let me answer your question. Boot to the Windows installation you want to keep. Then OPEN Windows Explorer and delete all of the other Windows folders (don't worry, Windows won't let you delete the folder for the installation to which you are logged in). Then edit the boot.ini file and delete the entries for all of the installations you deleted. Make a copy of the file first just in case you delete the wrong entries.
