Well there should be two windows directories in the root directory which is usually C:
One might be called WINNT, and the other Windows. If so, just delete the winnt folder.
Then edit the boot.ini file in windows XP, and remove the reference to windows 2000 and make sure the default OS is set to XP.
Should look something like this when you are finished:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
see how the default=multi(0).....
Is the same as the Operating systems listed?
That is important. Make sure this:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
is the same for the default and for the [operating systems]
They must match.
But honestly, I'd do a reformat if I were you.
