Presumably one of your two installations is fine and the
other is slow. If both are slow then your best bet might
be to back up your data files, then do a fresh installation
onto a formatted disk.
Let's call the two Windows installations Good and Bad.
Here is the recipe to remove Bad:
1. Launch Bad.
2. Start a Command Prompt (Start / Run / cmd {OK}.
3. Type this command:
set systemroot
Make a note of the folder name.
4. Launch Good.
5. Using Explorer, rename the folder you memorised in
Step 3 to c:\Windows.bad (for example).
6. Click start / run / notepad.exe c:\boot.ini {OK}
7. Remove the line that refers to the folder you memorised
in Step 3, then save and close the file.
8. Wait a week.
9. If all is well, delete the folder you renamed in Step 5.
