For techies out there,

When you initially boot windows, especially when you upgrade from a previous version, sometimes it will give you the option to boot to:

Microsoft Windows XP
Microsoft Windows


I accidentally installed another version of Microsoft Windows XP on my machine.

Now it says:
Microsoft Windows XP
Microsoft Windows XP
Microsoft Windows

I want to remove the c:\winnt and the occurence of the other two windows so that it only says:

Microsoft Windows XP

Anyone know how to do that?

how did you get a dual boot of operating systems under xp?? isnt it a NTFS system??

I think you can remove earier versions of win9x in the "remove programs section" in the control panel. I removed win98 after upgrading to get extra space.

This might not be it but you can try it...

Go to Control Panel, System, click on the advanced tab, Under "startup and recovery" and click on the settings button and then once that comes up click on the edit button to edit the startup file.

In NT and 2000, these things were located in the BOOT.INI on the root. XP is probably the same, take a look...
