Hi,

If you did not use the option to backup the existing system, or no longer
have the uninstall option, you will need to completely remove WinXP and
start over. This can help:

Windows Millennium

Change your motherboard bios to let you boot from the XP cd. You can then
format your disk and do a clean install.
