I have 2 installations on my computer. How can I
uninstall the second?

Michael,
If the two are on separate partitions, just delete or format the one you
don't want --- but remember to save the data from it to the other partition
or CD RW before doing the format or delete. If they both reside on the same
partition, you may have a real problem protecting the "keeper" O/S. I would
suggest copying your data files and programs that you do not have CD's for
to another partition or computer, then insert the Win XP CD and use the
uninstall--carefully. Hopefully it will give you a choice of O/S to
uninstall

Visit http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/xpfaq.html and click on
link #18 (I have two installations of XP on the same partition) and
follow the instructions.
