Parallel XP installation question

[adam1123]

I'm doing a parallel installation of XP here because the original OS is corrupted. Once I'm through can I delete the old WINDOWS OS folder or will that cause problems?

thanks,

Adam

Yes you can. It shouldn't cause you any problems anyways. I did a similar thing to my Server 2003 which was installed on the other partition. I left the Program Files folder tho, as some programs will run from there without me reinstalling them.

if u choose to install to a different drive it should be fine, delete the entry in boot.ini
