When W2000 comes up there are two identical choices for it. The boot is 

very

slow after the choice but finally succeeds. Is there some way of getting 

rid

of one of them or do I need to start over?

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.


Good. Thanks. I'll try it out.
