I currently have two operating system on my computer, xp
pro and home. I would like to uninstall my xp pro, but
could anyone tell me how. I try to go to add/remove
programs in xp home and find the uninstall xp pro but
there isn't one, so how can i uninstall xp pro?
 
Did you install both operating system on separate paritions? If so, delete
one of the partitions.

Or delete the installation folder, if its on a parition though, in XP Home,
click start > run > command > type in the name of the drive letter on which
XP Pro resides, example:

E:\FORMAT

Why would you think Home would have an uninstall for pro? Does not work that
way and never has. You need to delete the directory that pro was installed
to and then modify the Boot.ini file to reflect only the home edition.

Click to expand...

Assuming it's on another partition and not C, boot up with Home; open My
Computer, right click on the partition that has XP Pro and choose "format".
