Why two Windows Folders in Local Disc?

Anonymous

I have just had to reinstall Windows XP Home. In Explorer under Local Disc, there used to be just one Windows folder. I now have two. One is titled Windows. the other Windows 0. Why? Some of the files within them are different.

Thanks Elisabeth. That worked and I have managed to format and reinstall and mostly everything is in order although I am still having problems dowloading sofware and loosing the internet connection after re-trying. Any ideas please?

correct, delete full partition and do a full format not a quick format

There is no separate partition showing in Computer Management, just the maximum size of the hard drive of 149.05GB as C. I haven't yet tried to format because I wasn't sure that I should choose the option to delete the partition which would then give me the oportunity to format the disc.

Because of the problems I had before, I felt the system had become corrupted so I didn't want the same reinstalled, only a fresh copy.

what is the size of your harddrive, if you have just formatted the size of your free space should be huge as windows only takes 5 to 8 gb

The size of my C partition shows as 149.05GB NTFS with 98.03GB free space. What next?
