Something to try,
Go to the windows CMD.exe,
Type Dir and compare the size and date of the two Windows directories,
If they are both the same, then just delete one of them.

OK, use a different approach,
Right click Start and select Explore,
You should see WindowsXP (C  that is normal,
Expand the file by clicking the + box
look for any other Windows files and if you see any, Right click and delete.
Good luck,

One other place you might check,
On the Start-Run line, type MSCONFIG,
Click Boot.ini tab and click Check all Boot Paths.
It may or not tell you one of them is invalid.
