Installation of Windows XP

[Psychopath]

ok well yesterday I installed windows xp to override all of the things that I had on the computer. However, I made the mistake of putting all of the windows files not in the Windows folder but I changed the name to Window.I manually deleted the WINDOW file but when I made another installation of windows to be put in the Windows folder, nothing was deleted. In my program files, there was still everything inside. I deleted them all manually. Did i delete everything that i made from my WINDOW installation?

Good question...

Since you just did this yesterday...why not start all over again...and this time do it right.

Agreed...
And why do you need 2 Window's installations ? ?

I did manually delete the WINDOWS and everything that went with it i just want to know if it is gone.

[patio]

Yes it probably is.
Does the machine start properly now ? ?

[Psychopath]

no it does not work. If i use the installation CD to make a new fresh windows it still has all of the program files from my old windows. it is pissing me off

Sounds like you need to format the drive and install it correctly. If you have any important data, be sure to back it up first.

And don't change the destination folder this time...

I have done all of that multiple times with the WINDOWS folder. it still will not overwrite it. My new administrator account is administrator(and the computer number given) i must delete that  manually. I dont know if its the drives fault or the installation cd. However, as it stands it still has all of the program files but has none of the programs
