HOW TO Edit the Boot.ini File in Windows XP: http://support.microsoft.com/defau [...] US;q289022

In XP, press WinKey-Break,(or start/run 'sysdm.cpl'), Advanced Tab, "Start Up and Recovery" area, Settings button, then edit the old
line out with the edit button. Reboot, and delete the files for the old OS. Don't format C:, you need stuff in C: root.
