If there is a cd-rom in the computer in question, you can just reset it. There are several ways to go about doing this. I would suggest reading the following page & comments.\n\nhttp://www.raymond.cc/blog/archives/2006/09/02/how-to-hack-into-a-windows-xp-computer-without-changing-password/\n\nYou could also use the backtrack linux distros bootable cd available @ http://www.remote-exploit.org/index.php/BackTrack

Latch onto an external hard drive...shove all your important files in it. then basically wipe the whole damn hard drive, and reinstall the operating system. and when you do...partition your hard drive

first of all why r u uninstalling ur windows xp. if u are finding problem with windows xp then u can use the original windows xp. firstly boot up ur system via windows xp cd. secondly u will find alot of options. Either u can remove the current operating system and reload the fresh one or u also have a option to repair it. its very user friendly to go about. u can format ur hard disk to freshly install the xp using the windows xp cd. so that u dont find any options.

*****WAIT do not listen to the knuckle heads telling you to reformat*******\nDo a repair installion and enter your legal key.\nYou go through the initial steps as if you were installing XP, at the Windows XP (Professional, or Home) Setup >press ENTER >Windows Xp Licensing Agreement >press F8 >Windows Xp (Professional, or Home) Setup >press R. This will repair your Windows Xp Installation files, and will not affect your programs, data, etc.

The simple answer is yes.\nThe XP install program will let you install a clean OS.\nThis will wipe out any data on yor hard drive.\nXP also has a System Restore Utility that lets you return the computer to a privious state, so in the future you may be able to prevent these sorts of problems.

The best thing to do in this case is for you to reformat like the others have suggested and install a fresh copy of XP but if you have never done this it might throw you at first. With your machine on, stick in your copy of XP in then reboot. Then after it starts to reboot it will ask you "press any key to boot from CD" Press any key at this point and then wait for it to inspect your systems hardware then it will load some common drivers etc. After that it will look to see if you have any previous versions installed. When it shows you those other versions it will ask you if you want to continue installing Windows on this drive or something like that. At this point you want to get rid of the previous versions and any partitions. If you read carefully you can delete any other versions and/ or partitions and then install a fresh copy of XP. Make sure that you have gotten rid of all other OS's and partitions and if you have it will say "to install on this partition press enter" and you should see "new(raw)" and then however many MB's your drive is. At this point press enter and it will ask you "install XP NTFS or install XP NTFS(quick). Use the first one "install XP NTFS" Press enter and it will start to format the drive and then let it install XP and your all set.

format c: /s /u\n\nbut you can only do this from a boot cd / floppy and it will wipe the boot drive clean.\n\nof course that assume a DOS format and not a NTFS format.

First I want to say I haven't used Vista yet.\n\nBut I know from reading on forums dealing with help for Vista users, that if you remove Vista,  you must use the  XP recovery console to repair the master boot record and boot sector, and to put the XP boot loader back.\n\nYou should look around here:\n\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/community/default.mspx\n\nAddendum - \n\nI thought that you might benefit from this site too:\n\nhttp://windowshelp.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.mspx\n\nJust typing in "How to uninstall Vista" in the "Search For" box received this result...\n\nhttp://windowshelp.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.mspx?query=how+to+uninstall+Vista&cboDiscussionGroup=%3A%3Aen%3AUS%3A%3AD1CBF0BD-E8EE-4D73-8ECC-15AF7EC6783B%3A%3A&=Go&dg=&cat=&lang=en&cr=US&pt=&catlist=D1CBF0BD-E8EE-4D73-8ECC-15AF7EC6783B&dglist=&ptlist=&exp=&sloc=en-us

well \n     there is no real way to remove everything... even if you format, it is still possible to recover information...pictures, music, exc... but you the average person...place the windows install CD in restart the computer and tell it to remove the C: partition, this will also format it...keep in mind that you will "lose everything" so place anything you may want on a CD or DVD.

First of all get Norton Anti-virus, it's the best out there and uninstall the others . Second, to recover your system, try this:\n\n1. Boot up with the WinXP CD and at the Setup Screen press the Enter Key.\n  \n2. You will be taken to the Windows XP Licensing Agreement. Press F8 to proceed.\n\n3. The next screen gives you the option to do a fresh (clean) install or to repair\n     the selected Windows XP installation. To run a Repair Install press "R".\n\n***CAUTION*** if you do not see the option to repair the selected Windows XP\ninstallation DO NOT choose the option to continue installing a fresh copy without\nrepairing as that will overwrite your data and cause unrecoverable data loss.\n\n4. If you originally installed XP with Service Pack 1 and later installed Service Pack     2,  you will need to re-install Service Pack 2.\n\n5. If you have any Microsoft Office products installed,  you will need to re-activate\n    with the Product Key code. Contacting Microsoft may be required.

you need to get the CD first. You can get a Windows XP CD for like $40 these days, especially on http://www.ebay.com\n\nJust install it and it will erase all data and install Windows XP for you. So you should back up everything using a data CD or a file hosting server online.\n\nIf you need help with it, just contact me.

you can delete XP if u are using single window, like u install 98 or ME and then XP, then insert Win XP bootable CD and it will automatically give u three options, click on last option 'Remove or uninstall' or either go to control panel while inserting CD and choose uninstall win XP option, this will remove window without using format option\nregards,\nvikas kumar\nhi_lovegirls@yahoo.com
