I've got 2 versions of Windows XP on my computer, can I remove 1 or do I have to format my computer again?If you have partitioned your hard drive or have 2 Hard Drive, there is no trouble to uninstall one of the OS, but you must configure it on the boot sequence file locate in MyPC. But, if you have installed in the same PARTITION it coul be a trouble, otherwise, you could use partition magic or equivalent application to solve this.

Best wishesI think you can just use the partition magic program or a similar program to delete the partition with the OS you don't want. Then I think you could just add unpartitioned space on to the main drive.When you restart your system, and you get a choice of two operating systems, you should CHOOSE the one you want to keep installed on your machine.

Once the startup process is done, and your computer is ready to accept TASKS to perform certain functions, you click on the "My Computer" icon and locate the hard disks, removable storage devices, and more.

In the hard disk box you should see two drive icons, like "C", "D". If the copy you installed later need to be cancelled, it must reside on the "D" part of the hard disk.

This is because the "C" is where you initial copy of the Windows Xp resides, and it is the one you want to keep installed as the only copy on your computer.

The way you should get rid of the "D" copy is to format the "D" part of the hard disk. just right click it, and choose format. This will delete the Windows Xp copy you don't need.

Delete an OS entry on start up using boot.ini
If you ever had two operating systems dual booting and wanted to delete the option on start up to choose which OS to start, simply do the following.
1.First, open a command PROMPT. Click start, then run and enter cmd, then click ok.
2.Rnter the following command to see the boot info "bootcfg /query"
(this will display your boot settings, what you will need is to take note of which boot entry ID you wish to delete.)
3.Then type the following "bootcfg /delete /id 2
(In this CASE we have chosen to delete the second OS entry which we noted down earlier from the bootcfg query command.)
4.Then once you restart you won't get the option to pick what OS you want to load.
The above is good if you uninstalled an OS but XP still queries you which OS to load
