    Hello,

    Every time I start my notebook, the OS choices menu shows two options: Microsoft Windows XP Professional and Microsoft Windows XP Professional.

    I understood that Microsoft Windows XP Professional Sp3 has been installed twice on my notebook.

    I am using one of these two Microsoft Windows XP Professional Sp3 and this one contains all my programs, my datas, etc.

    I noticed this Microsoft Windows XP Professional Sp3 I am using contains a c:\windows (2.18 Gb) and also a c:\windows.0 (1.29 Gb).

    I am not using the other Microsoft Windows XP Professional Sp3 and it contains nothing.

    Please, how could I remove this other Microsoft XP Professional Sp3 that contains nothing? Does it exist a program to do this without damaging the Microsoft Windows XP Professional Sp3 I am using and without losing my datas ?

    Yours sincerely,

    John

    There's no program to fix this.
    I previously had a similar situation with a PC I was given to fix with 3 instances of Windows XP. I just deleted the extra Windows folder.

    Thank you very much for your answer!

    Please, where did you find the extra Windows folder?

    Open C: drive and you'll see it.

    I saw in the Microsoft Windows XP Professional Sp3 I am using a folder called c:\windows (2.18 Gb) and a folder called c:\windows.0 (1.29 Gb).
    May be the c:\windows.0 folder is the folder to be deleted?
