If you want to uninstall XP or any O/S, you save time
by not trying to fix the buggy_iest and draconian 
system MS product.
You must have a type of complete O/S,apps and files back-up or preferably an image 
copy before installing XP.
(NEEDED: Image DISCs,DOS Boot disk with
files: format.exe,fdisk and a ghost disk.)
- Boot from a floppy (change PC BIOS to boot)
- FDISK the drive.
- Format the drive.
- Prepare the drive to file format:FAT32 or NFTS.
 (Ghost doesn't prepare the drive properly)
- Restore the Image file.
