How do I uninstall Windows XP

[Guest]

I recently purchased Windows Xp home for my computer and had professional on it before. The home edition wrote over the professional edition but it's not working correctly. I know on windows 98 you can do FDISK and delete partions but how can you do this on XP? So that I can start with a clean hard drive.

Greetings --

The only way to change from WinXP Pro to WinXP Home is to format
the drive and start over. There is no supported downgrade path or
technique. In order to do this, you must have the WinXP Home
installation CD.

Simply boot from the WinXP Home installation CD. You'll be
offered the opportunity to delete, create, and format partitions as
part of the installation process. (You may need to re-arrange the
order of boot devices in the PC's BIOS to boot from the CD.)
