Get rid of Windows XP!
« on: 26 June 2002, 04:51 »
How the hell do I get rid of Windows XP?  I can't stand this crap anymore.  I've been to many websites and tryed all the methods.  I tryed going to add remove programs and XP wasn' there.  I tryed running osuninst in the system32 folder and it said it cannot uninstall because the necessary registration information is not filled out.  I tryed making a ms dos startup disk to format the hard drive but it doesn't recognize most commands.  Please help me.  Thank You.

You need a boot disk for another OS then format from there. In otherwords get a linux CD and have the installer format the drive for you  :D

You can either download it or buy it an any computer software store.  Go to the link in my tagline and you will find all the top Linux distributions.
