Greetings --

The normal way to "uninstall" _any_ operating system is to format
the hard drive and install a new OS of your choice.

Keep in mind (I believe this to be true) that you cannot go backwards with
Windows operating systems (XP to 98, for example) once the hard drive has been
formatted with XP.
