You need to format the hard drive. Thats how you uninstall an os.

Only way I can think of doing it. A Re-format. Make sure you do the partition that Window's is on and not the WHOLE Drive!

Is it the one that was installed first or second.
If its the one that was installed first ure gonna have to fix the boot with the CD.
If second one just format it and take it out of the boot.ini file.

Backup all your important data first, a format will erase everything.

boot into the xp os you want to keep.
delete the windows folder of the os you dont want to keep.

then go to start/run and type in msconfig.
go to boot.ini and press check all boot paths. it should see that the other os is missing and delete it from the boot up menu.

Remove HDD
Burn it
Pound the ashes with a mallet
Put the remains into a lead lined barrel
Bury in 100feet of concrete
Add a warning sign "Hazardous Material"

Rename your Start button to End. Click it.
