UNINSTALLING XP

[SHANE]

I had an infection with a Tank worm on my system and
before I
could download the security patch and it caused my system
to crash. I tried to repair the problem with the
installation disc but it would not work either. I
installed a clean install of XP and have it running
nicely but I am unable to delete or uninstall the
previous version. It is not listed in the "add/remove
programs" nor can I do it through DOS .. I get a message
saying there is no registration details and XP cannot be
uninstalled. Can someone tell me how to delete the
previous version without causing any damage? Or does
anyone have a suggestion?
email me at (e-mail address removed)
Thanx in advance
Shane

THE ONLY AND SAFEST WAY IS TO BURN A CD COPY OF YOUR DATA.
THEN 1. PLACE WINDOWS XP CDROM INTO YOUR CD READER AND
BOOT UP FROM THE WINDOWS XP CD. REFORMAT THE DRIVE USING
NTFS FORMAT AND CONTINUE INSTALLING WINDOWS FROM SCRATCH.
INSTALL ALL OF YOUR PRORAMS NEXT THEN AND ONLY THEN
INSTALL YOUR ANTI-VIRUS SYSTEM.
DOWNLOAD THE LATEST ANTI-VIRUS SIGNATURES
SCAN YOUR DRIVE WITH YOU ANT-VIRUS SOFTWARE AND THEN AND
ONLY THEN PLACE YOUR DOCUMENTS CD INTO YOUR READER AND
DRAG THEM INTO YOUR DOCUMENT FOLDER.
DON'T REBOOT YOUR SYSTEM AGAIN UNTIL YOU RESCAN YOUR HARD-
DISK DRIVE WITH ALL FILE SWITCHED ON USING YOUR ANTI-
VIRUS SOFTWARE.

THIS WILL WORK !
ALL THE VERY BEST........
