Removing XP Home SP2 from a dual boot machine
I recently purchased a notebook with XP Home SP@ proinstalled. I upgraded to
XP Pro but had to do a complete intall rather than an upgrade because my xp pro update cd was older than xp home sp2. I now have a windows (xp home) and a windowsp (xp pro) folder. How do I uninstall xp home? -- Thanks, LJP |

Hi,
Click on the Home folder and delete it. If you are prompted for which OS to boot at startup, start/run msconfig and on the boot.ini tab click the button to "check all boot paths". It should offer to remove the invalid one. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Associate Expert - WindowsXP Expert Zone www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "LJP" wrote in message ...
