Is it possible to remove a second copy of Win XP?
Last response: in Windows XP
Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.configuration_manage (More info?)
I messed up my WinXP Pro installation on my C drive, and, short of time,
rather than trying to fix it and lose all my files, installed a second copy
on my D drive to use temporarily.
Now I'm back in operation on my C drive, is there anyway to remove the OS on
the D drive without reformatting the disk (it has a lot of back up files on
it)?
Thanks
Alan
