Re: Two operating systems on one partition

If you are actually able to boot into both OSs then you have a problem and a
format and clean install is your only option. If it only gives you the
option to boot into both then you may only need to simply edit your boot.ini
filke and remove the entry for win2k. However as the other replies have
stated, if you installed the OEM copy of XP onto the non-OEM machine then
you are in non-compliance of your license agreement. HTH
