In what order were they installed, krisskross ?

 

Are the three on seperate partition son the same drive ? If so you should just be able to log on to the XP install, delete the other two partitions from Disk Management, then remove the entries to them from within boot.ini

Have a look HERE for details on how to edit boot.ini.

HTH

 

As I said they are all in the same partition jakamoko

if I remember wel, they were installed in the following order win2k win2kserver then xp.

 

Firstly, boot to your XP CD, then see if it picks up the other 2 and gives you the option to delete them. Other than that, see if you get distinguishable Windows folders in Explorer from within XP. If you do then you should (I take no liability for loss of files or data here) be able to remove them. Either way you'll most likely still have to edit boot.ini, so see above.
