Re: uninstall windows xp

The way to get rid of winXP is to use the install CD and reformat the drive.
If you want to install win98 you may also have delete the existing partition
and create a new partition and use FAT32 file system.
Of course you loose everything on the drive when doing this. This seems a
bit drastic for a problem with a network card. Maybe if you provided some
more information on the problems your having and what you have done someone
can provide some information on fixing it.

My computer is really messed up. I'm not sure what to do! I have been
trying to uninstall XP but it wont let me. I've tried to install windows
98
and it won't let me do that either. The whole issue started while trying
to
install a new ethernet card and the system won't recognize it.
