When I finished loading the software and the system booted itself up at
boot
up I have a choice of 2 versions. 1 is a bad load the other is good and
works.

While reloading win2000 I encountered a problem did a reboot to last
good
config and finished the load. Now I have 2 versions on it on disk, 1
good

1 bad. How do I ghet rid of the bad version?

What makes you think that you have two versions of Windows? What exactly

you mean with "finished the load"?
