Uninstall XP Pro

[Bill Allen]

I want to uninstall XP Pro and bring my hard drive back to the bare metal so
I can test a "bare metal restore" with some backup software I have on a 30
day trial. It claims to be able to create a "snapshot or image" of the hard
drive on one machine and transfer it to another. Would someone tell me how
to uninstall XP Pro all the way back to the bare metal hard drive. If it
doesn't work I can always reinstall XP Pro. Thanks!

Just set your Cd drive to be the first boot device in the Bios. Then
using the WinXPCD you can delete and recreate, format partitions.
