    :confused: Hi All,
    Got a quick question, I was trying to reinstall Win2k over itself today to cure a problem, but forgot to check 'I want to choose partition during install' and now I've got another Win2k OS on one of my storage partitions! :eek:
    What is the best way of removing this?
    - Knowing Win2k, it's probably altered some system files to my 1st OS as well!!
    thanks in advance, spotta

    You can just delete the directories that were installed: winnt, program files, documents and settings. Then, you can edit the boot menu (C:\boot.ini) and remove the line referring to the unwanted install - and make sure to change the "default" back to your original w2k.
