How can i delete another os on my drive C if i accidentally installed 2 windows OS?

On the "unaccidental" OS (which I hope is XP), go to Control Panel -%26gt; Administrative Tools -%26gt; Computer Management.





Look for Disk Management, and find the partition containing the mistake OS [usually the UNACCIDENTAL partition is labelled 'Healthy (System)'].





Right click the MISTAKE partition and click "Delete Partition". Use with CAUTION. Don't delete the Recovery Partition (if your manufacturer installed it) by mistake!!





After that, click Start -%26gt; Run and type msconfig. Press OK. Go to the tab "BOOT.INI" and click "Check all boot paths". Remove the non-existent entry called "multi(0)disk(0)......".





WARNING: If you have used the ACCIDENTAL OS and saved files, removing the partition will remove all your documents in the ACCIDENTAL OS!
