Okay, here's the situation:

I got a virus on my computer a while ago and I couldn't get rid of it so I decided to reformat my computer and reinstall windows XP. So when I installed it, the computer re-booted. Still having the CD in the drive, it said: "press any key to boot from CD". Not paying attention I pressed a key, and re-installed it again. Now when I did this re-installation i accidentally pressed another key and installed Windows XP into my E: drive. (I have 3 drives; C:, D:, and E:). So now I have Windows XP on my C: drive and E: drive. My computer is now running considerably slower and I'm confident that this is the problem. I tried many differnt things, such as reformatting the E: drive to make it a FAT32 file system so that when I installed Windows XP again to the drive, I could remove it via the Add/Remove Programs function in the Control Panel, as per the Help and Support link in the Start Menu. Obviously this didn't work. So, anyways, long story short, I have 2 windows XP's on my computer and it's creating all sorts of havoc. It never ran this slow before and now it's driving me nuts. Basically all I want to do is reformat the entire computer (all 3 drives) and re-install Windows XP fresh as if it were for the very first time, thus leaving only ONE windows XP... If anyone could PLEASE help that would be great.

Thanks,

Emir

Dude, just do what you said at the end of your rant, format all 3 drives and reinstall XP.
