windows xp will not install

[philip cole]

I have tried to run windows xp over existing version but come up with conflicting problem due to go-back being installed , i have tried uninstalling via install and remove and also by norton systen works but it doesnt work, also tried system restore but go-back is resulting in an inability to correct any issues i have. How do i get this thing off and would deleting the register help?

Thanks

Delete the entire partition.

yes, it's not good to have two copy's of the same OS on the same partition.

So you can have one copy of windows xp and then use it on more than one computer? I though it was a limit * one per computer *? How do they know if you use it more than once?

It is never a good idea to install an OS on top of the same OS... You will make it worse... Instead, install it on a separate partition - just make sure you edit the boot.ini to distiguish the partitions.
