Forums > Help! > Dual booting-esque problem

Alright chaps. Another one for the technophiles out there

My girlfriends computer (running Vista) recently stopped booting up. After trying everything I knew, including system restore, I re-installed vista.

Now, she has two hard-drives. One very full, and one hardly full at all. The latter is where I thought windows was installed, but it wasn't.

So now I there are two hard drives, each with Vista installed. One works, the other doesn't. When the computer boots up it asks which version to boot with. [Isn't that basically Dual/multi-booting... even if its two of the same OS?]

But I guess what my question is, can I delete the bad OS completley and there not be any side effects? I've always been deeply suspicious of meddling with anything in the Windows folder, and I am reluctant to touch it, even if it doesn't work, for fear of buggering the whole thing up entirely.

Any suggestions?

Was indeed suspicious, but didn't use it to get the drivers though as you have to pay for that.

I just used it to find the driver I needed/ was missing, then i downloaded from manufacturer's website
