Well, it won't delete it, but you won't be bothered by the option >_>

If you want to delete the other Windows installation, just delete the other Windows folder... that's what I did and it was fine. Just be a little careful though (Y)

Ta-da! No more option when you start up your computer :)
ermmm.. that does not remove anything from your computer... That only removes the menu entry in a possible boot menu to choose your OS from. The OS will still be there

RE: Delete...
Did you install the redundant XP on a seperate partition?

If so start up in your main XP (the one that you wanna keep) and:

1) Simply format the partition of the XP you want to be gone (provided it is not your bootup partition of course!!!).
Or...
Delete all the related Windows files and folders from the redundant partition. And don't forget the files in the root directory either (provided it is not your bootup partition of course!!!).

2) After that edit you boot.ini file if there are two menu entries in it, like Caboose said.

But be extremely carefull you don't delete/format anything wrong!

You already asked this question in "info on hard drive" and we already said that you can't simply change it without breaking many programs and stuff...


----------

With all respect but I very very strongly suggest you to ask someone to do all this for you seeing all your (previous) questions on these forums...

It needs some knowledge of Windows to do this in a proper way!
