Deleting windows 2000 pro

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

Hi,

It's not taking up memory, but it is occupying drive space. Boot to WinXP,
open Windows Explorer and delete any remaining Win2000 system folders.

Then open System properties in the control panel, click the advanced tab,
then on startup and recovery settings. In the startup section click "edit"
to open boot.ini in notepad. Remove the line that loads Win2000 from the
[operating systems] section and close saving changes.
