I (for some unknown reason) unintentionally installed XP Professional twice on the same pc. I noticed this after trying to install MicroSoft Works suite 2003 and it told me i had no space on my D drive. In an attempt to fix this problem (space) Having lost my XP install disc, i came about a XP home edition disc, thinking this would overwrite my exsisting problem. In the installation i repartitioned my D drive giving me back the space i had lost. now i am stuck with XP Pro. (1 version) and XPHome ( 1 version) i would like to uninstall the home version and cannot figure out how please help me NitePrincess 31 in Maryland

just format d: partition. If there is not any data just wipe it and format it. Thats it. Dont try to reload XP. You may have to use FDISK to delete and readd D: partion if you used NTFS.

Boot into your XP Pro, then right-click on my computer, choose manage. Click on Disk Management and delete D partition. Formatting will work too. After that, you'll need to edit your BOOT.INI file located in C drive. It will contain an entry foryour XP home edition. Just delete it from the menu. Make sure you delete the home edition entry, and not the XP Pro.

good luck,
