I have two harddrives and inbetween when I had computer problems I tried installing WinXP on my 2nd slave harddrive (I removed the master and made the 2nd one my master) but it didn't work due to some hal.dll error.

Finally, I reformatted and installed XP Home on my master HD and upgraded it to XP Pro through MSDN Student Alliance.

Now I have WinXP installed on my 2nd harddrive and want to uninstall/delete it. How do I do that?

Note - it doesn't prompt me as to how I want to boot, I just want to delete the other installation.

You could just format that drive. That would nuke everything on the slave drive. Or you could just delete all of the windows related folders to reclaim the space.

Right click on the drive in Windows explorer and select "format". Done.
