Bob;
What is your goal?
If you FDISK and delete the partitions, it will be gone.
Then you can follow the procedure for whatever OS you wish to install
on the computer.

1. Go back to the previous OS:

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=314052
This may or may not work depending on the installation options used.
2. Perform a Clean Install with the OS of your choice destroying ALL
data.
3. Purchase Windows XP Pro (Home will not work) and perform a Repair
Installation using the new valid key and CD:

It's greedy people like you that punch a $350 hole in our wallets.
To solve your problem, take a magnet, and put it up to your hard drive, this
will safely remove the OS, but not your files. This is because files use a
different magnetic frequency then the OS, and won't be affected.
Hope this helps.
