If you have a prebuilt computer (eMachines, Gateway, HP/Compaq, Dell) then your computer SHOULD have came with a Restore CD which basically reverts your computer back to how it was when it came out the box...in other words that means you will loose all your data...programs...drivers...and whatever else you have on your computer...
With older versions of Windows this wasn't the case since a restore only replaced Windows Files and left everything else alone...
So basically if your "uninstalling" XP then you have to have a bootable XP disc or a restore disc...and it's basically as easy as following the instructions that show up on the screen

use xp disk as you would to do a normal install at the instalation screen pick repair windows leave file system as it is this will re install windows but leave your files as they are on the computer
all that will not be available are any udates that you installed due to your windows being back to its original install DONOT pick the change file system or your drive will be auto formatted that is a clean install that destoys all on the hard drive you will still need your serial number to re install

You cannot "uninstall" Windows. If you don't want to lose your settings, try a Repair Install.

If you format, you will lose everything that was on your hard drive because formatting wipes everything out.

that is likely that the registry wasn't cleared perfect by no longer uninstalling it. once you've a application made for cleansing your equipment, it ought to help. a respectable loose application it really is quite person pleasant and useful is CCleaner. search for it and promises it a pass. good success!
