My Friend brought over his XP and installed it on my
computer.I do not want this program at this time.It has
not been registered or activated. How do i uninstall XP
without hurting my Current setup of Windows 98?
 
Greetings --

The normal way to "uninstall" _any_ operating system is to format
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
Add/Remove Programs. All of these conditions _must_ be met for the
uninstall option to be available.
