Greetings --
The normal way to "uninstall" _any_ operating system is to format
the hard drive and install a new OS of your choice.
However, if you performed an upgrade from Win98/Me, elected to
backup the old system files, and didn't convert the partition to NTFS,
then all you need do is boot into Safe Mode and Start > Control Panel
> Add/Remove Programs. All of these conditions _must_ be met for the
uninstall option to be available.
Otherwise:
