No, it wouldn't be.

The normal way to "uninstall" *any* operating system is to format
the hard drive and install a new OS of your choice.

Then you already know what needs to be done.

You need to backup your data,
then format the drive and reinstall
 
i am also having the same prolem,i con't uininstall as it is not listed in
my programs to uninstall, and I cannot formt the drive asXP is not built on
dos, therefore I can't startup in dos and you cannot format within windows
 
You have to Boot from the XP CD. Windows won't allow you to delete the
operating system drive you booted from.
