Why remove it? Pro and Home are identical in most operations. Chances are
the problems you are having with Pro will also be in Home. Post details of
your problems and someone will help you. But to answer your question: You
can't uninstall Pro, you will have to format and reinstall Home if that's
what you want to do.

Greetings --

The only way to change from WinXP Pro to WinXP Home is to format
the drive and start over. There is no supported downgrade path or
technique.

Simply boot from the WinXP installation CD. You'll be offered the
opportunity to delete, create, and format partitions as part of the
installation process. (You may need to re-arrange the
order of boot devices in the PC's BIOS to boot from the CD.)
