I can not uninstall Windows XP. There are no programs
listed under add/remove.

Hi Greg,
Was it orginally an upgrade? The only way to uninstall it is if it was.

Then you'll have to wipe the drive to re-install your old OS. You
probably converted from FAT32 to NTFS and that's a 1 way street, but I
wouldn't actually know that since you didn't mention what you were
using before.

Although MicroSoft tells you that, it's not true. Although
there's no native way within Windows XP to convert from NTFS to
FAT32, you *can* do so with a third-party utility, such as
Partition Magic.
