Undoing an Upgrade

[Joanne]

My son installed a friend's copy of Windows XP. I'm
trying to install my Windows 95 but it keeps telling me
it can't install an older version. Is it possible to
remove XP and reinstall 95?

Greetings --

If you performed an upgrade from Win98/Me, elected to backup the
old system files, and didn't convert the partition to NTFS, then all
you need do is boot into Safe Mode and Start > Control Panel >
Add/Remove Programs. All of these conditions _must_ be met for the
uninstall option to be available.
