XP remove, delete, reload

[Lynda]

The people I bought my computer from put XP on it. They
did not use my product code so I cannot register other
programs. How do I take this one out and reload my copy
onthe computer. I have a start up floppy, and a Xp CD.

Hi Lynda
Boot your computer up from your CD and you can reinstall your copy from
scratch..it will give you the option to remove and reinstall.

Simply boot from the WinXP installation CD and pay careful
attention to the on-screen instructions and prompts. You'll be
offered the opportunity to delete, create, and format partitions as
part of the installation process.

The Product ID should be on a sticker on the side of the machine, but that
is the product ID for WinXP, not for the other programs.
