Hi
Do you intend to reinstall XP? How was XP installed? If as an upgrade and
you opted to keep the uninstall files, then there should be an entry in
Add/Remove Programs. If XP was already installed on a new PC, then you will
have to reformat.

the hard drive and install a new OS of your choice.
However, 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

Control Panel.

I should add, if NTFS is the file system being used, then there is no means
of return even if the previous setup was saved.
