    Welcome to Windrivers Bayman.

    Couple of questions, did XP come with this computer? If not, did you perform an upgrade or did you wipe the computer and put xp on?

    You can only uninstall XP if you elected to keep the old system as a back up and it was upgraded. If you go into control panel, add/remove programs you should see the icon for removing XP and restoring the previous system. If it's not there, then no, you cannot uninstall, you will have to wipe the disk and start again.

    ... & its not a 'failsafe' method ... it don't always work ! (depends on any patches added afterewards - certain updates render the thing 'useless'), in which case you are back at re-install
