• What Will Happen If I Install Windows Twice?
    2 replies, posted
There is an expired version of windows on my hard drive, and I have a new XP operating system disc. Since there is still the expired version on the hard drive, it tells me I'm installing two operating systems on the C: drive. Can I just install the new Windows XP over the expired one, or should I remove the old one? If I should remove the old one, [b]how[/b]?
You'd want to reformat, by booting off of the Windows disk. Before so, make sure to back up important docs, files, etc, as everything on the hard-drive WILL BE ERASED.
You can do an new install on the same harddrive. Everything just gets shoved into a Windows.old folder. Just take your documents out of that, and delete it.
