XP Pro install
I couldnt repair my previous XP installation, so when I reinstalled the OS I
created a new windows directory since I was afraid to lose my data. Now the drive looks full (10gb). How can I uninstall the previous XP without losing any of my programs? |

When you reinstalled XP did you do a Parallel Install? Do you get a Menu
on boot that gives you a choice between the two XP OS's. Or did you do a Repair Install? "nestorr" wrote in message ...

Hi,
You don't uninstall, you simply delete the directories from the other installation. -- 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 "nestorr" wrote in message ...
