How do u delete an OS

[jeamourt3]

i installed 2 os WINDOW Xp pro
cuz the old one is missing a system file
^how do u recover that?

but anyways i intalled another windowxp pro in the same harddrive

and during the boot , it ask me to pick a os

how do i skip that and always boot from the new one!?!?!?

As they are freash installs(correct) the best/easiest thing to do would probably be to format the harddrive and just start over. You should get that option during the windows install.

I think you delete the system32 folder of the one you don't want anymore

Search google for boot.ini. I beleive that's the file that has the boot options when your machine first loads.
