Guest Mick Murphy Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 RE: 2x windowa on hard disk It would be much cleaner to just reinstall XP. To enter BIOS, right at Startup hit F1, F2, or Enter; boot Order should be F12 Check at bottom of startup Screen. In your BIOS, or boot Order, set your CD/DVD Drive to be 1st in the Boot Order, insert XP disk, reboot, follow instructions to load files, Delete BOTH existing XP Partitons, select the size of your new partition, format, install XP. -- Mick Murphy - Qld - Australia "Richard" wrote: > hi all, > > i have a major problem, a few weeks ago i had to install windows xp again on > my HD, i did something wrong en now i have 2 partitions (c: and d:) and on > both partitions is windows installed,..i want to remove one of them, but then > i have to make sure that the windows i remove must be the one that isn't in > use at all,...my question is: how can i see what windows on which partition > is running on my pc
Guest John John (MVP) Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Re: 2x windowa on hard disk At the Command Prompt issue: set system How did you manage to add a partition with the XP setup program while maintaining the prior existing partition? Did you have unallocated space on the disk? How big are the partitions? I'm thinking you may have installed Windows in a Recovery Partition?
