Multiple XP installs
Hi Everyone!
I think I did something stupid... Here's the story. I had XP installed on a 250 GB drive that I was using for media backup. I then changed the MOBO out and reinstalled XP. When I booted I had a second installation of XP to choose from. This happened because I used a slipstream disk I made. Not realizing that, I did another installation thinking that I would get the option to remove or repair the existing instance of the installation but alas, I now have three instance of XP. I have tried trashing all of the files from the old installs but I am betting that I haven't gonne far enough.
How do I get rid of the two older, non-working instances of XP?
Thanks!
