hi, first time user here. i need help with a specific situation.

 

i installed two window xp home editions onto my hard drive, each in different partitions, by accident. now im unable to log into my account which contain all my files.  whenever i reboot it asks me to choose which windows xp to run and neither gives me access to my original user account. how can i get rid of the extra, recently installed windows xp. or is there anyway i can access my folder through Local Disk, then back-up my data, and completely reformat my hard drive??

 

i tried running in running in safe mode with commmand prompt and uninstalling the extra windows xp os manually but a message said that i was missing necessary registry information. (this all started with a corrupt registry blue screen). i tried looking for the undo folder with the recovery console but it said that it doesn't exist.

 

if anyone can help, that'd be great.

thanks.
