I had to re-install windows xp on my computer. I had plenty of disk space before now I have like 20MB. Is it possible that I have 2 versions of windows xp on my computer. If so, how do I get rid of the one that I don’t need so I can have my disk space restored?

I would like to delete windows xp and upgrade. My computer is running slow and I think it has something to do with it being 5 years old. How can I do an upgrade without having to purchase a whole new computer?

Our computer was fried in an electrical storm. Fortunately I have a backup of our files and settings on an external hard drive (this was made using Windows XP Professional). All I really care about is restoring our files to a different computer. My choices are: using my husband’s work computer, which also runs Windows XP Pro or use our soon-coming new computer which will have Windows Vista Home Premium.
Is it possible to open the .bkp file in our external hard drive using my husband’s computer and restoring just the files (I don’t want to overwrite his work stuff)? Or will everything be restored? Is it possible to do this on our new computer with Vista, even though the backup was made using XP?
Help!
To clarify:
When I made the backup, I used XP’s backup utility and selected “Files and settings.”

My computer died and I needed to do a complete re-install of the system. As a result I lost the drivers and more - including those dealing with the WLAN.

I am trying to get the computer to reconnect wirelessly, but when I look for the wireless possibilities, I am only offered the possibility of connection with WEP. How can I get the machine to connect using WPA? I am using Windows XP Professional.

My hard drive is really messed. So I need to reformat it (hopefully that works).

But after several moves, I can find the windows xp cd activation code. I can run windows only in safe mode. Is there anyway to find it in the registry?

i have a laptop from ebay that has windows 2000 professional, and i know that is really old. I have a mini laptop that is newer though. I was thinking of getting xp so i could use the larger screen on the older laptop and for family use too. I believe xp goes for $89-120, would it have to be referbished to accomadate the newer version? Ill return it if i have to pay more than the xp upgrade if i can. any suggestions?
it is in working condition.. just a old model.

I have an HP a1600n computer that has Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition installed on it…I have already backed-up all of my files that i wanted to keep to an external hard drive. The problem is, is that my computer did not come with any kind of CD that will allow me to re-install windows xp on it. It does have a recovery console though…How can i re-install windows xp on it? Why doesn’t these computers come with a recovery disk? Thanks!
