Re: [OT] Removing unused OS files after installing winXP pro

["Chris Miles" <chrismiles@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

depends where your XP installation went into.

If it went into c:\windows then if thats where your 98 installation is then
you are pretty much screwed.

If it went to c:\winnt then you could just delete c:\windows.

If it installed to c:\windows and your 98 is c:\win98 then you could delete
the win98 folder.

Dont attempt any of these though unless you know what you are doing.

Ideally you are always better to completely format your drive clean and
install freshly.

OT Post.

I have installed WinXP Pro on a laptop and the HD seems to be shrinking..

During boot up I have the option to load Win98 /Win2K or XP Pro.  How do I
remove the old OSs properly to free up some valuable space on my HD?

TIA

Nigel
