hey guys, if any of you remember last time I messed with my OS..well it was bad. So this time i'm gonna ask before I do anything. Currently I have 2 window xp's installed. One on my new harddrive and one of my old harddrive. One of them is the original xp pro and the other one is xp pro w/ sp2. My question is, how do I safetly get rid of my old XP and keep the new one? Thanks

edit: Also, the comp seems to be locking up alot after installing sp2, is there a patch that fixes this?

wow that was the most confusing thing ever...I'd rather just leave the drives in and format C cause its a huge mess inside my computer and it's a pain in the a** to take the harddrives out.
