I put the Windows 2000 discs from my duaghter's computer
into mine which already had Windows 98. Since I can't
register it to a second computer how do I uninstall?

You CAN (against the EULA) install W2K on a second machine because you
don't have to activate W2K. Not that I'm saying you should
however.......

Bill - if you actually mean Windows XP then if you did an upgrade as
selected the option to retain the original files to allow an uninstall then
it is listed as an uninstall item in Control Panel ... Add or Remove
Programs.
If you did not do an upgrade and did a clean install but not to a new folder
then you cannot remove it without reinstalling the entire PC with your
previous version of Windows.
If you installed to another folder you can choose which OS you get when you
start your PC then just start your other OS and delete the folder containing
the Windows XP install.
