Hi,
How can I remove Windows XP Service Pack 2 from hard drive, if it had not been upgraded from older versions and if I don't want to format the partition on which it has been installed?
Thank you.
The normal way to "uninstall" any operating system is to format
the hard drive and install a new OS of your choice.
