i am trying to uninstall windows xp pro. ?

[Mike]

i am told to go to control panel/add/remove progs but the operating system is not on the list of progs.

you are using the operating system to even look at add remove programs, that like trying to remove your brain.

If your purpose of removing XP is to load another operating system (windows vista, 2000, unix, etc) Then you should boot your PC with that new OS CD and choose to either replace windows XP or create a partition to use both. remember removing your OS will also remove all the files and documents you have on your PC, unless they are saved on another partition.

lol sorry but thats made me laugh.

Why would you want to remove xp pro? might aswell perform brain surgury on yorself.

You cannot uninstall it.... only way to rmove it is to format your drive, but then what are you going to do?

[Prashanth]

simply format ur pc.......

there's no way but to format your harddrive

You will need a windows 98 startup disk or any book disk, or any other operating system to format or remove your windows XP from your PC.

You will not find it in control panel since it the Operating system which is a user interface between you and the machine. There is not self Un-Installation or remove option in windows XP.

Who ever has said you have lied to you.
