Remove x64

[Guest 82716]

I installed x64 in the same partition as XP. DUH... I was told if I have an

AMD x2 cpu I needed x64. I can dual boot and found that that I don't want

x64. Can I just delete the x64 related folders and files and make my system

a single boot sys again??? The other OS is WinXP. If I do a sys restore to

a point prior to loading x64, will that remove the x64 OS?

This is my first visit here.

OOPS wrong site

Hope I'm in the right place this time..nope, wrong site

Maybe this is the correct place.....

You're right, installing into the same partition is a bad idea.

 

The only good way to fix this is to do a clean install - format the

partition and install 32-bit XP into it. Trying to make it work now will

only create problems and you'll have a system that is unsupportable and will

behave badly.

put in xp disk, restart computer to install xp (not x64).go through as to

install

xp. when it comes up to install, delete, or repair, delete x64 and it will

delete

the x64 off the partition. be sure to save any files off x64 you want to keep

before this process.
