Hi all, I had a problem with my PC a while back which resulted in my installing a second version of Windows XP on the same hard drive. Now I want to completely reinstall Windows and have just one copy of Windows on my hard drive.

When I was doing the last dual boot I was able to use this CD on the current computer to reinstall. My question is this - Can I completely remove all traces of Windows from my PC and then use this CD to do a clean install from scratch?
