No, it wouldn't be.

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

i removed xp one time before with no problems

Then you already know what needs to be done.

You need to backup your data,
then format the drive and reinstall

You have to Boot from the XP CD. Windows won't allow you to delete the
operating system drive you booted from.
