Spamcan Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Boot into the home install. Delete the windows folder of the pro install. Open msconfig, select the boot.ini tab. Click check all boot paths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echilon Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Shame on you for installing to MS OS's on the same partition. Docs and settings could get messy, just make sure you delete the right folder, with two versions of XP, windows usually creates Administrator AND Administrator.PCNAME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Veteran Posted October 5, 2004 Veteran Share Posted October 5, 2004 You format the partition the OS is installed on, or delete the OS's folder from the drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincent Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 I'd do a complete format with a partition spanning the entire HDD for optimal performance . back up your data though. Nothing beats a Fresh install of windows xp pro :happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougkinzinger Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Wipe the drive clean as a whistle and reinstall (with SP2 as well of course). --DK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pagail118 Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Really a re-install should be consider, and re-install XP need no experience. Open the drive, put the cd and restart and follow easy steps ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
