Help, 2 windows XP Pro installations on 1 HD!
« on: December 30, 2005, 08:04:15 PM »
    I went through a nightmare installing Windows and formatting again... i downloaded 2 different ISO's off the net and NEITHER would work,  one kept crashing and the other gave me an error about digital signing during install... so i used BOTH.. it worked but the by product is that my pc now sees TWO winXP installs on bootup..
   I deleted the windows folder i didn't want but it still sees it , is there some other file hidden i should know of ?

sounds like you need to edit your boot.ini file to remove the other one... 

u can do that with msconfig, i think (type 'msconfig' in the 'run' dialog box)


or manually with these instructions  http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;289022
