vista repair for old system

I did not delete a pervious version of vista after mine crashed so now I have
an old and new version, how can I delete it without reinstalling all over
again if this is possible? Thank you

Hi,

Describe your setup and where precisely the duplicate installation is
housed. Normally, a reinstall to the same volume should place the original
installation in a windows.old folder that can be deleted after data files
are recovered from it.

Yes it said on reinstall that old files would be named windows.old, I'm not
sure where they are at and if I find them can I delete them without deleting
my vista version that I'm using now, not sure what you are asking, no
partition just a c drive.

Hi,

It would be on the root, ie: C:\Windows.old

If you can't see it, set folder options in the control panel so that you can
see hidden and system folders.
