windows XP

[Marlene]

windows XP was installed in error in a Gateway after
getting it with a new Dell. We tried to stop the
installation when we realized we shouldn't try, and it
just kept installing anyway. It won't work and I need to
know how to take it out so I can get one designed for
Gateway.
