it sounds like you just bought this computer. So back up the few documents or whatever that you have on it now to a CD. Reformat the Hard Drive, and do a clean XP install.

Hehe. Is it really a problem though? You managed to live with it for a year already.
It still seems strange to me. Do you remember installing it to C:\C\? It's a weird place for it to automatically install to...

i dont really remember where i installed it 14 month ago, but i just assumed that since there already was a WINDOWS folder in my C drive, it didnt want to overwrite it, so it just made another folder named C. im now curious to know though,
does anyone have a computer with only one OS that also has a folder named C and also has a WINDOWS folder in it, as well as a WINDOWS folder in ur C drive?
btw : i know im an idiot for installing them in the same pertition, or even installing them at all

I don't think I've ever had a C folder in my C drive. When I was a kid if my OS was messed up, my cousin would reinstall Windows and have the old Windows folder in C:\Windows\Winold. So yeah, that's my experience with the whole multiple windows thing. But what else is in that C folder?
Try comparing the C:\Windows to C:\C\Windows, it's really curious to me.

there's nothing else in that C folder.
iv compared the contents, and there is more content in one of them than the other. and i have been using one of my OS 99.99% of the time

Then I'd guess you could go ahead and delete that C folder. Though you may want to back stuff up (because shit happens). Of course, if that is your windows folder it probably wouldn't let you delete it, I think.
