Boot to the desired version of Windows XP you want to keep. Making note of
the position in the boot menu. This will be important when you edit boot.ini.

Open a command prompt * and type " echo %windir%" without the quotes. This
will give you the current Windows folder you are using.

From Explorer, delete the folder containing the installation you want to
remove. The original install folder is usually called Windows and subsequent
folders will be derivatives of Windows or Winnt.

From System Properties [Winkey+Pause/Break] > Advanced Tab > Startup and
Recovery > Settings > Edit.

Select the Edit button and from notepad, first backup boot.ini, by going to
File; Save As and rename boot.ini. to something like boot.inibak.

Remove the line referencing the installation not chosen; you made note of in
step one.

Set timeout=0 so the system boots directly into Win XP (you will not get the
boot menu).

Save As boot.ini & Exit.

Reboot.
