Most of it should be in Windows.OLD. Bits will be in Documents and Settings, and most of the rest should have been replaced with newer by XP, or should be in use by XP. | |

quote: I've just altered the timeout to 3 seconds so thats not a problem, like yo say though i'll have loads of 2000 crap all over, only got 40gb hd, so wondering how i could manually clean it up. If not i'll just back up my music collection and i'll have plenty of space. | |

Look for a folder called Windows.OLD or something similar. It should contain the old install of 2000. Rename it to something else and reboot the computer just to check there's nothing Windows is using in that folder. If it's not, just delete it. | |

just looked at your reply, i'm not really upto that kind of messing about, any way an idiot could delete it from the main desktop rather than messing around on that booting up bit? | |

i ran a fresh install rather than upgrade, cheers though i'll give what you said a blast, think its still there as i'm down 2gb unless xp is just bigger or something | |

Select it in the menu, see if it still boots. I suspect XP has left it in the boot menu rather than actually leaving it there. If you ran an upgrade install, then XP should have gone straight over it. | |

When i start my machine it asks which OS i want to use, so does this mean 2000 is still on my machine? if so how do i delete it? |
