I need to delete windows 2000

[Guest akceb04]

I have no idea what I am doing. I instaled windows xp I was told that it

would automaticaly remove windows 2000 from my computer. It didn't. I want to

keep windows xp and get rid of windows 2000 because I don't have enough

memory now to play a game I bought, and that is the hole reason I got windows

xp.SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP.

That all depends on how you installed Windows XP. Did you install

Windows XP in a separate partition or did you "upgrade Windows 2000 to

XP pro? Can you still boot Windows 2000? Do you have any thing that

you want to keep on the computer?

 

If you didn't have enough memory (RAM) to play the game with Windows

2000 then installing Windows XP will not make more memory available to

the game, it anything you will have less available for the game,

espcially if all the XP "Eye Candy" is turned on! Instead of wasting

money on Windows XP you should have bought more RAM for the computer.

Further to John's excellent reply: Having both Win2000 and WinXP

installed on your machine means this:

 

- It consumes more disk space.

- It makes no difference whatsoever to the amount of memory

available to your games.

 

If you need more memory then you must buy more RAM chips.
