Best Way To Uninstall XP

[Guest]

I recently had to install a clean/new copy of XP Professional and would like to remove the old copy from a different drive. Is there a procedure that is recommended other than the ovious delete and backup data files? Are there hidden dangers lurking?

Thanks,

Steve

You did not state whether the different drive is a separate harddrive or a partition on the same harddrive. It will make a lot of difference.

Are you trying to be helpful, or are you being deliberately STUPID?

Best way is to boot of the XP CD and delete and recreate the partition
that the old windows was on. Then reinstall Windows.
