Double installation of XP

by broozer9 . Updated 21 years, 4 months ago

Just a dumb question here for you. My niece ran Microsoft’s Anti-Spyware on her PC after I emailed her a link to download it. It turned up, would you believe over 300 items to be removed. She removed them and then it kept asking for a missing file called wintools and her cable modem would no longer connect. She tried to repair it after putting in the CD but it wouldn’t work, or she didn’t know how to work it. She then decided to reinstall Wndows XP home, but unfortunately did the wrong thing and now on booting she gets a dual boot screen asking if she would like to boot XP or XP. The new installation works ok and connects to the net fine, and is asking to be activated. The original installation still has problems, but is already activated. She wants to remove only the non working installation and keep the other. Is there some way of doing this. I said she would need to format and start again but she would rather keep the second installation as she knows it’s working ok. Any suggestions?
