Uninstalling windows xp64

I can't get xp64 off my computer to reload xp pro. You can't do it from old
xp pro disk- the options that pop up have the "install windows xp' faded out.
How do I do it?

Greetings,

There are better newsgroups for this, but if you boot off the XP disc when you boot up the
PC, you can go into setup from there and install it wherever you like.

As I said in the post, when I boot using "boot from CD" with my old windows
xp disk, the option of installing is faded out so you can't click on it. Is
there a way for me to go into dos mode and format my c drive so I can then
load xp?

Hi,

You shouldn't be clicking on anything. If you're booting from the CD you won't be in
Windows, you'll have keyboard input only.

You cannot do this inside of Windows itself.
