first of all you can't install 2 windows on the same partitions, i think you are talking about boot setup.\n\nso start ->  run  -> msconfig\n\nthen choose BOOT.INI tab and there delete unneeded option.

You can't uninstall Windows.  The only way to get rid of one Windows is to reformat your drive and install Windows 98 after you have formatted it.  I assume that you have Windows 95 now, if that is what the computer came with it is likely too old to support Windows XP.  I would say Windows 98 or 2000 is your best bet.

There might be multiple partitions, i.e a 2GB C: drive and a 18GB D: drive. If this is the case then you can, of course, still use all of the drive the way it is, but if you wanted to make it all one partition you'd need to format the drive and reinstall windows.

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.

If you are using it on another computer of your own, just plug it in as a slave drive and then if using Win XP, just go to My Computer and right click on the drive. Then select format and it will wipe it clean for you. \n\nIf you are just going to install windows on it then just format at windows setup.\n\nIf you are not going to be the user of this computer and want to protect your privacy use a tool from http://www.download.com to do a deep format - one in which data cannot be recovered.\n\nGood Luck

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.

if your copy of xp has sp2 on it then no you won't have to reinstall it. if not, then you will. the first part of reinstalling xp should be formatting which wipes out all your data including the registry, so you will get a new fresh copy

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.

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.
