How to uninstall XP

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have 2 partitions in my notebook. When I was having problem with C drive, I installed xp pro in D drive. Yes, I have 2 operating systems in my notebook. Now xp in C drive is working properly, I want to remove xp from D drive. It is not listed in add/remove program. When I inserted xp CD, there is no uninstallation program in it. How do I remove it from my D drive?

Editing the boot.ini file....

can remove the dual boot options screen on startup.

Once the proper install is allowed to boot, the other partition can be formatted for further use. No uninstall of XP exists in this type on installation.

Note: care should be taken when editing the boot.ini and a backup copy should be made as per the instructions.
