    Yes, you can. If you installed XP Home first, the bootloader for both
will be on the partition with XP Home. You then cannot format that
partition but you can delete everything except
      Ntldr
      NtDetect.com
      Bootsect.dos
      Boot.ini
      Cmldr

> This question is a follow up of my last. If I setup my computer with a
dual boot, so one windows is WinXP home (German) and the other is WinXP Pro
(english), can I then delete the WinXP home (German) and have just WinXP Pro
english as my only OS?
