I had xp64, I got new motherboard and everything went apeshite...it would boot quick and than not load startup for 10 mins, not recognize my network card...anywho I needed to work so I installed another xp64 in the same partition. Now that I am done with my backups, how can I safely get rid of old one?

Load the setup again and then just delete the partition that has the install you dont want then just exit.

I dont think its possible to have Windows x64 installed twice on the same partition as it would overwrite all the files....now, if you are having the dumb screen that pops up at bootup and lists x64 twice theres an easy way to stop that/get around it. Right click my computer, properties, advanced, startup and recovery, and uncheck time to display operating systems. Or you can go down to the edit button and manually remove the second x64 listing.

Edit....unless its possible to specify a different directory and install twice that way.... ??

I agree. I would have listed that but I was unsure if it was on a single partition or not.
