phatmatt Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Laptop has been bogging down and missing files so its time for re-imaging. I used to do a clean install, and going through the agonizing length of time getting SP2 back. Recently discovered Nlite and managed to make a bootable ISO with SP2 and XP. I installed it but I didn't think it would become a seperate new XP install with an option to boot up that or the old XP. I thought it would overwrite the old XP but its there on the same volume.I'm making a copy of the Files and Settings of my old XP. I need to know if there is a way to uninstall the old XP and be able to use the new one. I'd tried to uninstall the old XP from C:\prompt but that didn't work. Do I need to format? What can be done?Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitroshift Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Just format the partition (NTFS preferrably). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phatmatt Posted August 31, 2007 Author Share Posted August 31, 2007 I didn't want to have to format since I already have a new xp sp2 install on the volume. Is that the best way of doing it? I will do if there is no other option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponch Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Best way would have been to move your data to a 2nd partition (create one if needed) and reformat the 1st one to install a new XP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
