Question about 'How do I uninstall Windows XP?'

I have a question about How
do I uninstall Windows?:
OK, recently I did a clean install from win ME to win XP, I have an older sony computer.
The install went fine, but I have found many problems..IE, the printer will not
work. So I checked with Sony, and they said that you shouldn't upgrade to Win 2000
or Win XP with this computer, they stopped upgrading the drivers for it. SO, now
I need to put Win ME back on the computer, but when I put in the Win ME cd, it says
"You cannot run this program from within windows 2000" How can I uninstall Windows
XP?????

the stupid things for windows xp is that if you were previously using windows 2000,
you CAN NOT uninstall it back. :(

Did you ever get to uninstall XP? I tried the link that was suggested to you but
it didn't work. I am finding XP alot slower on the Internet than ME.
Many Thanks

The only way I could uninstall windows XP and re-install windows 2000 was:
1. Change BIOS so that it boots from CD rom drive and bypass the hard drive (disable
hard drive boot)
2. Then put windows 2000 cd in CD rom drive and boot up.
3. Go through agreements etc. Then delete the old partition /s including C. Then
create new partition /s.
4. Format partition C and install windows 2000.
Remember to backup all your old data before you do this.
Good luck
