When I start my computer there are two options on Windows
XP. I tried to uninstall one but I am not able to becasue
the message says that there aren't any uninstallation
files on my computer. I tried to reinstall the program
in safe mode, but the message is still the same. I also
tried to unistall under the safe mode with command post
and I am still not able to uninstall. The message reads
windows XP can't be uninstalled becasue at least one of
your disk drives was converted to the NTFS file system.
Setup requires the original hard disk configurations to
properly uninstall. Can anyone help me get the program
off of my computer? Please!!!!

Have you actually physically got two versions of XP installed or is it
just the MBR (main boo record) that says so?

Lisa,
You aren't telling us what you want to uninstall, but IF it is WinXP that
you are trying to uninstall . . .
- You will need to FDISK from a bootable floppy. You should be able to
delete the NON-DOS Partition (it's the NTFS partition) and Reformat the HDD.
Then install whatever OS you wish from a bootable OS CD.
- Be aware that doing this you will LOSE all data on the HDD.
If this isn't what you wish to do, please clarify your request.
