so a while back I got hit pretty bad with some malware. I backed up everything and reformatted. Durring the reformatting process my computer froze. I restarted and began reformatting again. Everything got reinstalled ok and Ive been free of bugs since. not spyware or malware at all since. Since the reinstall however, I get prompted to choose between 2 versions of windows xp home edition. the first one works fine and is the system I run. When you select the second it says that it can not boot from disk. I checked my disk manager and this is the screen shot:

Whats up with these unallocated sections? how do i get rid of the non functioning instance of xp??

The easy solution? Wipe the drive and start over.
