Please be more specific.

Have you upgraded from XP to Vista on your only computer with no backup of
any of your files and now want to go back to XP? If so, there is no
"uninstall." You must reformat your computer, reinstall XP, reinstall your
other applications and your documents. You will lose everything on your
computer.

If there are different circumstances, let us know.

It depends for what purpose you want to Format Disk.

Formatting disks and drives

Hard disks, which are the primary storage devices on your computer, need to
be formatted before you can use them. Formatting a disk means configuring
the disk with a file system so that Windows can store information on the
disk. Hard disks in new computers running Windows are already formatted. If
you purchase an additional hard disk to expand the storage of your computer,
you might need to format it.

Other types of storage devices, including many USB flash drives and flash
memory cards, might come preformatted by the manufacturer. CDs and DVDs use
formats that are different from hard disks and removable storage devices.
For information about formatting CDs and DVDs, see Which CD or DVD format
should I use?

Warning
Formatting erases any existing files on a hard disk. If you format a hard
disk that has files on it, the files will be deleted.

Here are answers to some common questions about formatting disks and drives.
