re: Question about 'What to Throw Away' Monday, January 10, 2005 at 6:06 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Steve Webster (1 messages posted) What about upgrading from W2k to XP - can you delete the old WINNT folder left there from the old w2k installation or will doing so mess up the XP installation? You'd think the MS upgrade script would take care of this when you upgrade from W2K to XP. MY WINNT folder eats up over 2GB of space, and I assume that since the new XP OS is running from the WINDOWS directory, the WINNT directory is no longer used. However, since I used the upgrade vs new install, I do not want to nuke it until I know for sure it won't break something...
