I'm with you Michele, I did the exact same thing, I, like you I suspect just want to try and remove the '2nd' accidental XP, that is sitting on a drive on top of files I would like but do not need. If it can be removed either remotely or not fine, please share with us your secrets. If not then reformat and be done with it. So that's how you accidently'double install' xp now tell us if we can take the second one out or not....?
