OK, you somehow ended up with two installations of Windows - one on
each of your C and D drives. Now I am trying to determine which of
these two Operating Systems you are actually using.

The boot.init file "controls" the starting of Windows by guiding the
process to the appropriate disk/partition. I am assuming that when you
start up you DO NOT get a choice of Operating Systems to boot, so I
expect a single line in the boot.ini file, and this will tell us which
drive's OS is actually in use.That should make the OS on the other
drive expendible.

You will find the boot.ini file on your C drive, NOT within any folder.
If you don't see it using Windows Explorer, do the following:

- Open Folder Options in Control Panel (Start > Settings > Control
Panel)
- Double-click Folder Options
- On the View tab, under Hidden files and folders, click "Show hidden
files and
folders" and also "Show System folders" (or somesuch phrase - not sure
this one is required).

Now if you view your C drive in Explorer you should see boot.ini.
Double click it and Notepad will come up. DO NOT make any changes to
the contents!!!
