Uninstall Windows 2000
Posted by Meganbyte on September 9th, 2003


Hello,

I have loaded Windows 2000 on my computer twice. As in
two operating systems on one machine but they are the
same, so how do I deleet one? It's taking up space.

I suppose this shold be obvious, but it's not to me.

Thanks, Meghan

- Start your machine in the Win2000 version you wish to remove.
- Start a Command Prompt.
- Type this command: echo %SystemRoot%
- Make a note of the response. It will be something like c:\WinNT.
- Start your machine in the Win2000 version you wish to keep.
- Start a Command Prompt.
- Type this command: ren c:\WinNT WinNT.delete
where c:\WinNT is the name you noted further up.
- Wait a couple of days.
- If all is well, start another Command Prompt and type this:
rd /s /q c:\WinNT.delete
