REMOVE XP
Hi Joe --
Restore and Recovery are not viable options. I don't have a System Manual -- the computer was put together by a shop down the street. It didn't come with any software pre-installed. I'd sure like to take a look at your software manual. Is theer any chance you could describe the procedure here? I'm thinking of deleting all the files that say "Microsoft" on them. That will leave a bunch of other files -- some without any company name. By the way -- is there a way to indicate who is installing files in my C folders? Like with the Mac -- you could color-code them. And as for Jane Doh -- I killfiled her ages ago. -- : )))) Something's Fishy Around Here Joe Rufo wrote: Hi: If you are having problems with Windows XP, you can try to Restore it to an earlier date (RESTORE )....If that fails to solve the problem you might be able use System Recovery..Some manufacturers ( I have HP ) use a partition to store the original Operating System in it's original condition..There is a proceedure to manually uninstall Windows XP without losing your Data Files. This procedure is in my HP Manual..If you have a different brand/model your proceedure may be different...Check your Manual...If you reformat your hard drive without Backup of Data you will lose everything. I am certainly no expert but if I can be of further help let me know. Joe Rufo -----Original Message----- How do I simply remove XP? I understand that once it's installed, you can't uninstall it. So how do I manually uninstall? -- : )))) Something's Fishy Around Here . -- : )))) Something's Fishy Around Here |

No you didn't, since you can't even spell the name correctly.
