There are several ways to get rid of windows xp \n\n#1 use a windows 98 boot disk and either delete it by dos commands or format the whole drive(i don't like it).\n\n#2 use a windows 98 , 2000 , ME bootable cd and install it and change windows directory while setup to windows.0 or whatever.\n\n#3 the best way and i personally use all the time is to have any recent linux live cd and boot it ... then delete everything(delete not format) then you will boot as a clean MBR... i suggest SLAX(just google it) which is very neat and fast....\n\n#4 go to program files .. then choose uninstall my windows and you are done!!!  just kidding;)\n\n#5 if you already have a multiboot .. simply use your another windows and delete the three directories ... "Documents And Settings" , "Windows" , "Program Files"..\n\nGood Luck\n\nCheers

Do not delete the C drive. Use this drive to store files.\n\nIf you want you can reinstall XP, but that is a different situation.

you simply do not have enough memory to run everything you have installed. just upgrade your system or simply uninstall un-need programs or just reinstall your windows\n\nThat usually happens when theres to much error on the system

Windows ME is the worst OS i ever used.\nAnyway it cannot directly upgrade to XP. \nEnter the Xp Cd rom and restart the Pc.\nHit any key to boot from cd.\nFollow the steps.\nThere's a page you can delete the old OS.

well, the easiest and the most reliable way is to download Disk Director partitioning software. It's not safe to operate with windows utilities, because when u create partition within widows  u lose data. Besides, ADDS is rather cheap utility and u won't need to uninstall XP.

When you start the installation for XP, it'll ask you to format or remove the current partition.  You can remove all partitions and reformat this way.

Make sure you do system maintenance once a week or so.  Run Disc Cleanup on C drive - and make sure to run DeFrag.  Make sure to reboot after doing those two things (in that order).  Memory should be AT LEAST 512 if you want to use XP at any reasonable speed.  Of course, you really didn't tell me about your computer.  The more memory - the better.  If you computer is newer, a gig of ram is becoming standard (depending on the chip).\n\nPersonally, I use registry mechanic to clean my registry.  One more thing is that if you're using Norton, it is notorious for slowing down your computer.  I heard that PC-cillin is a good alternative.

First I would strip everything off your motherboard.  Remove all extra PCI boards and extra memory etc.  Remove all your USB/serial cables and stuff and go into bios and select setup default (not performance).  Start your PC. If it does it again try another stick of memory in place of the one you left in.  If still a problem it sounds like a virus and if you reinstall Windows XP using fdisk make sure you c:&#92; format /u as the virus might be in yer boot. \nIf the problem is resolved by removing items it maybe your power supply not coping or on its way out or one of the components removed is faulty.  So put stuff back on your board one at a time and start PC to find the problem device.  As you load your board up the power will be drained so the fault may occur.  So make sure you swap your PCI boards around before slinging it in the bin to check they are OK because it might be the power supply.

it is having problems allocation memory for a device. Make sure your memory has noerrors, remove all add in cards and plug in devices and try, After you get XP installed, then add them back one at a time. Maybe it will get you past if

Your HD is to small, If your Total HD is 2GB, It take 2GB of Total Partition  to put XP on the Disk.\nHarry

You will probably have to reinstall most of your applications. \n\nThe Registry is where many applications store information they need to work. When you reinstall XP, you also overwrite the Registry, so any information stored there by your applications will be lost.

Have you got system restore enabled and also have you got a system restore point for the date when you first got it ?\n\nIf not then the only way would be to use the recovery disc(s) or the windows xp disc and re install the operating system from scratch ( Obviously MAKE SURE to back up any data you have that you want to keep ) before you carry out this procedure.\n\nIf you need any other help please post back.

If you keep hitting F8 you'll see an option for last know good command. Try it.  You can also rebuild xp without deleting your files. Your start with the xp disk like you are going to install it again, when you get to the install where prompt you'll have the option to re-install.  The re-install will not wipe out your data but you'll have to go through all the windows updates. Good luck

Go to Start>Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs>select I.E. 7 and uninstall it.\n\nWhen it's uninstalled you will automatically revert to the previous version, which is I.E. 6.0 in Windows XP.

If you need to uninstall a program that you have previously installed you need to do the following:\n\nStart Menu > Settings > Control Panel > Add & Remove Programs.\n\nSelect the program you want to remove from the list and then click on the 'Remove' button.\n\n\n* I am making the asumption that you are Windows XP PC user.
