Sounds like you corrupted your system because Windows XP Home
Edition is not designed to upgrade over Windows 2000. Only
Windows XP Professional can perform an upgrade over Windows 2000.

I would suggest performing a "clean install" of either Windows XP
Home Edition or Windows 2000.

The normal way to "uninstall" any operating system is to format
the hard drive and install a new OS of your choice.

Only if you performed an upgrade from Win98/Me, elected to backup
the old system files, and didn't convert the partition to NTFS, can
you then boot into Safe Mode and click Start > Control Panel

Add/Remove Programs. All of these conditions must be met for the

uninstall option to be available.
