The best thing to do in your case, is to format the harddrive and install XP
from the bottom. Boot your computer with the XP-cd in the drive. When the
screen says "Push any button to boot from cd rom", do that. Now you can just
follow the instructions on the screen to make a clean install of XP. In the
install prosess, the installerprogram will ask you to put an old windows
version in your drive (If you have the upgrade cd). This is to verify that
you are allowed to make a clean install with the upgrade cd. Put the ME-cd
in the drive to verify, put back the XP-cd and the install keep running.
Soon you have a nice, clean and stable XP installation....

1. Uninstall Windows XP/Reinstal Windows ME

Any ideas on the following problem?

After having a logon problem in my original Win XP installation I did a
clean install on  my E disk.  The second Win XP installation on my E disk
functions well.  At startup I am offered the option of this installation, or
the old one which still resides on my C disk. If I select the old
installation, Win XP starts, still with the original logon problem, but I
can log on as administrator. For several reasons I would like to go back to
my old Win ME system on the C disk while leaving Win XP on the E disk.  The
Win XP on the C disk does not show an "Uninstall Win XP" option although
there is a C:\undo folder with three files in it, backup.$$$ (1KB),
backup.cab (379,934 KB), and boot.cab (4762 KB).  Is there any way to
uninstall Win XP and restore the previous Win ME?  If not, is there a way to
remove Win XP  without formating the disk, so that I can reinstall Win ME
without losing the other content on the disk?

Thanks,
Harry Nichlson
