Are you sure that you have two win xp? the disk space is the same that before the format?

Maybe the best solution is re-install the OS again, BUT delete all partitions of your HDD. how do you do? with hiren's boot, or the same installation program of win XP.

In order to remove unwanted versions of WinXP:
Click Start> Run> Type in MSCONFIG> Enter (or click OK)
When System Configuration dialgue window pops up:
Select BOOT.INI
Click on "Check All Boot Paths" button
Any XP operating systems that are invalid will delete.Click APPLY>OK and when prompted click Restart.
After system restarts, another dialogue box will open saying "You have...System Configuration...", just check the box at the bottom of the box, and you are good to go!
This happens if, when you are installing XP, and the system gets to the reboot phase, you leave the disk in. The installation restarts. You must eject the disk and let XP start the actual install. After it starts the install, if all necessary files are not present, a dialoguq box will pop up asking to insert the disk. THEN reinsert the disk and it will finish the install.
