Question about 'How do I uninstall Windows?' Tuesday, February 18, 2003 at 5:29 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by james (1 messages posted) I have a question about How do I uninstall Windows?: i have xp installed as my main os but still have the remains of 2000 and a failed xp insallation. i have removed the two unused os from the boot menu but am still left with FOUR windows folders in the program files folder of my hard drive. they are : windows, windowsx, windowsxx and winnt. windowsxx is a temp folder, but the other three are a gig each in size. if i just delete the two i don't want (winnt and windowsx) will this adversely affect my system or current xp os. i know that the windows folder is linked to the current os because the line "multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /fastdetect" appears in my boot file and where it says \WINDOWS= it said winnt= or windowsx= for the os that i removed from this boot file. confused? basically, can i just delete the folders winnt and windowsx without hurting my computer? cheers james Responses to this message: re: Question about 'How do I uninstall Windows?'
