re: Uninstalling xp Friday, November 16, 2001 at 11:58 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Chips Davis (2 messages posted) I recently intalled XP and love it, but everyone has his or her ideas on what an OS should do. To uninstall, I would boot from a floppy disk first. If you need to, change your BIOS setting to boot only from a disk. You should have a floppy around to boot or you may use an older version of Windows. Next, go to to the directory where XP is intalled and delete all files, then install the OS you want. Or you can simply refomat the drive and reinstall, but you will lose all data. Hope that helps On Friday, November 16, 2001 at 10:39 pm, Sean Lonnecker wrote: >Does anyone have any idea how I can uninstall xp?
