you can't uninstall Windows XP as its the OS. for removing windows xp you would have to format the hard drive using Windows XP cd (assuming you want XP again)
For booting the system through CD you would need to make the CD drive the first bootable device and boot the system making sure that the CD (Windows XP) is in the drive and follow the onscreen instructions.

Go to control panel, uninstall and scroll down to the software and click uninstall.......If this doesn't work, use system restore to the point before you installed it.

You would have to reformat the computer it was originally on. And then you can put it on the new computer.
