How to manually uninstall a second windos xp (corrupted) in a disk

[Guest Carlos Maduro]

I had to install a new windos xp in a desktop that would not start and would

not allow to use the recovery console.

 

Now I have two operating systems: the new xp installation and the old xp

installation, and every time I start up I have to chose which one I want to

use to startup my comp. Apart from this, the old windows installation holds

siginificant space in the disk (together with the program files that had been

installed in that windows.)

 

Now I would like to manually delete de old windows xp and the files related

to that installation to recover the space in the disk.

 

I am guessing that if I delete the old C:\windows directory, this will do

part of the trick. But I would like to kno what other files need to be or

can be deleted.

 

The new windows was installed in a directory called C:\windows2

 

Thanks for any help received.
