Hi there,
Does anybody know how to uninstall Windows xp? I tried several ways but didn't work, I googled and stuff but didn't help me out so yeah, I was wondering if you could help me on uninstalling windowsXp..
Thx

Put the install CD in the tray, boot from the CD, format the HD that has the OS.

Just dubble click: My Computer; go to C: drive. Right click C: drive and click Format.

done|

Im not responsible for ur hardrive. u mite hav some possiblilty of losing some data from your hardrive. DONT Try this @ home; however u can try in school's or library's :D

jk

wwwwait a minute, I'm not there yet, I mean could you explain a lil' further on that echoes? you mean put the windows xp cd in and then what?

theesy, I wanna uninstall windowx xp and get baq to my previous OS..

:p
my bad|

whats your previous OS? if you have that CD, then pop in the cd, and instal, and restart, if it is easy. if it is previous version of windows, just pop in the cd, and let it take over. it will install some files, restart your computer, and when it asks, press any key to boot from cd, then hit a key, then let it roll. make sure you format your harddrive before you install your other OS. the OS you are trying to put might ask if you want to format or not!

thees--- have you tried that yourself? an active OS probably won't allow formatting of its own primary partition... you probably need to boot from a different source before you can format the so called "c:" drive.

but in any case, do back up your data onto a CD (or gmail!) before formatting.

redstone is my reliable deputy... he'll take this case. :-)

O it was windows 98 and I dont have a windows 98 cd, if I did, I obviously wouldn't be here asking for help.. lol.. so wat do I do, do I needd to have a windows98cd or will windowsxp CD work ?

red---don't promise her she'll get her previous OS back. doesn't look like she will. cover your ass!

no I'm actually ready to lose all my datas from this comp, I dont need 'em..so just gotta uninstall windowsxp, no need to worry abt the datas or anything..this isn't my own pcc..

yeah... your Win98 is prolly gone now. You won't be able to just go back to it by uninstalling XP. unless red says otherwise.

If you don't have 98 cd, and want to remove XP hoping to get back to 98, then goodluck, it is impossible :)

first off, you can't just format your harddrive while your OS is installed in them. Its like your butt wiping the poo poo by itself, which can't be done. you need a different source, your hand. correct? just like that, your OS won't remove itself from the drive.

and if you expect to get back to 98, then one thing is for sure, you will have to go back in time. without CD, removing XP simply won't take you to your previous OS

oooo that sux, i was been told this before that i WILL need a windows 98cd ..then well wat'll happen if yu uninstall windowsxp..?

okay okay gotcha, dont need ta use poo poo word, you moooo.
so urghhh, I needta borrow or buy a windows98 cd.. goshh em so screwed now... and my otha comp aint workin well either, a lil video card problem, but i don think theres anything wrong with the video card.. its a new one,, just replaced it LMAO.. so yeah..
want me to tell my other computer's problem..
k.. last week, i was on myy computer.. it kinda froze so I had no patience so I had to turn the comp off the wrong way directly by my finger, you know without clicking the shutdown button .. and i turned it back on, and now..i dunno its strange, monitor keeps sayin " monitor is in pwoersave mode activate using pc", how does turning off the comp effect the video card which is on the back part :S:S

redstone--couldn't you come up with a less explicit analogy? yuck!

like there's an expression in nepali that goes something like "jun haangaa ma basera tei haangaa kaatne".

but concept is the same.

kutieekrazy,
What is the problem and what are you trying to achieve. Please explain. (your detail answer will explain the issues you are having between 98/xp)

Echoes bro, aru kei ayena dimag ma...tei aayo! :)

hanga kasari kate maile :(

kutiekrazy? moo re? damn, how many nicks do you have? 10000000000 million thousand gazillion...okay i lost my count!

yuck yuck! redstone, i thought there was nothing impossible..
well.. dont mind my other comp... I know it probly needs to get it's videocard replaced but I aint gonna do that! i just had a new onee god!

kutie---if you have to pick b/w Win98 and XP, XP may be the way to go. It's certainly cuter, for one.
