How do we uninstall the second XP operating system?

I inserted my original
XP disk and it installed a second program, so now when I start my computer, it
gives me a choice of startup programs. How to uninstall the other?

Hello HankKuehne,

In Windows XP, we have changed the boot.ini file directly.  BootCFG was available in Windows XP Professional.

Using the above article, you will need to save a backup of the boot.ini file.

Then you can edit in Notepad-removing the reference to the second operating system.

After these actions, you should no longer see the second operating system during startup.

Best regards

    If the installation provided with your Windows computer discs was preinstalled on the computer - it is OEM and cannot be moved. You can move Windows to another computer if you buy the retail version.

    You can move the windows on a new computer

    If it's a full license or upgrade retail - Yes. You can move it to another computer as long as it is installed on one computer at a time (and if it's a version upgrade the new Windows computer must have its own license of qualification). The previous Windows installation on your old computer must be formatted or deleted. You will have to perhaps call Microsoft and explain what happened to complete activation. Turning it on the second computer will automatically be in effect 'disable' the license for the first computer.

    If it's an OEM license - don't. OEM licenses, including Windows preinstalled on a computer before purchase and Windows purchased separately, are related to the first computer, they are installed on and cannot be transferred to another computer. To install Windows on another computer, you will need to buy another copy.

  • Equium L350 - 11 d - how do I delete the second partition on the HARD drive

    How can I delete the second partition that came with the laptop, so I can use the full capacity of computers HARD drive?

    I feel that this partition is their because I have not created a DVD of recovery he would remove the partition once I created the recovery DVDs.

    The score contains a folder of HARD disk RECOVERY and in the folder says do not delete or change this folder or files.

    I have a Toshiba Equium L350 - 11 d

    As you have already said that the second partition contains the HDD Recovery folder if you would remove this partition you will not be able to create the recovery DVD and would not be able to recover the laptop HARD drive.

    Therefore, you must create the DVD before recovery would remove anything from the second partition on the HARD drive.

    After you create the DVD recovery successfully, you could remove the partition and could add the free space on the HARD disk on the first partition.
    This can be done on disk management!

    This is a useful page for Microsoft:

  • How do I uninstall the program "Utilities" since the Satellite A210

    How can I uninstall the program "Utilities" since the Satellite A210. In Control Panel I can uninstall the program "Value Package" but not "utilities".

    With the A210 I can't work with the FN keys and on a German Toshiba support website I found this information:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB0402UR0000R01DE.htm

    So I'll try this installation sequence:

    -Chipset utility
    -Display driver
    -Toshiba value added package V1.2.40
    -Technical support utility Flash Cards for Satellite L500 (see this thread, why I want to do):
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=46135&TSTART=7
    -V1.0.25.5C Toshiba-Utilities
    and no doubt
    -Installation of V2.00.09 equipment

    I hope that the FN keys will work after this installation sequence.

    Before I explain what to do please can you me why you want to remove this system utilities?

    Hello manjunath25,

    If you want to uninstall programs in Windows XP, go to control panel, add/remove programs, find the program you want to uninstall, then highlight and click on uninstall.

    If you feel that you still have the programs uninstalled in the registry entries, go to a command prompt. Then type regedit. Do a find for the name of the program and then delete the keys as your find.

    Note:

    Change REGISTRY parameters incorrectly peut cause of serious problems only peut
    prevent the your computer de Startup correctly. Microsoft cannot guarantee only any
    problems resulting de le configuration of of REGISTRY parameters peut be solved.
    Changes of these parameters are at your own risk.

    If you try to uninstall everything product Antivirus, it is better to go to the manufacturer of the antivirus and download the uninstall tool. Just uninstall these types of programs does not always remove all the registry entries.
