Haz, when you installed the second version of WinXP it made an entry in
the boot.ini file which is located on the C: drive
This allows you to select either XP version when you boot up and are
presented with a boot menu. To see this more
clearly rt click on MyComputer>select Properties>Advanced>Startup and
Recovery-Settings> Default Operating System Box click on down arrow and you
can move the healthy version of WinXP into the Box window IF it's not there
already.
You can also click on Edit and remove the corrupt WinXP version line
entry. Don't do this if you are not sure.
If you choose to start fresh a new boot.ini file will be
created on the C: drive during the XP install. Choose to format
both partitions and pick the C: partition for the operating system.
