2 XP OS on my laptop... I want to get rid of one
I am NOT a techie... and I have a slight problem and could use some techie advise.
I had Windows 2000 on this laptop... I can't remember what happened but it went for a crap. And I could not find the CD to reinstall it so I picked up XP Pro. When I went to install it there was some problem where 2000 wouldn't let me. I think at this point it becomes loud and clear I am NOT a very technical person.
Anyway, somehow I managed to install 2 separate XP OS on this thing. Now I am short of disk space and would like to get rid of the second one,but I can't figure it out. The 2nd one is simply the OS, no programs or other files and to further confuse the issue, I think I may have partioned the drive too... so its like I have 2 computers here, but zilch for storage space.
Question is: HOW DO I ERASE THE 2ND SYSTEM AND FREE UP THAT HARD DRIVE SPACE?
A DETAILED PLAIN ENGLISH INSTRUCTION SHEET WOULD BE WONDERFUL.
Thanx
Willy
