re: Uninstalling xp Saturday, December 22, 2001 at 12:11 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Howard (1 messages posted) I'm also needing to revert from XP back to Me. I want to reformat the C drive but my Win98 startup diskette CDROM driver doesn't work with my CDROM (although I swear it used to before I moved to XP). Anyway, can I format the C drive simply from within XP or will I blow my OS out of the water and not be able to install Me? Thanks!
