Most operating systems can only be removed by formatting the hard drive, and then installing the operating system that you desire. The drawback to this is that you will lose everything that is on that partition of the hard drive. Example : if you have a computer with Windows Vista but you want to put Windows XP on the computer you have to wipe (format) the hard drive in order to load Windows XP. This means saving all your documents to a CD or another hard drive or another partition. If you want to upgrade to a newer operating system then this can be done without losing your information, but some programs may need to be reloaded. Hope this helps. ----

There is no uninstaller for an operating system. To remove an OS, simply format the partition that holds the operating system. If you use a boot manager to choose between different operating systems the software should automatically detect missing operating systems for you.
reload your operating system
The best way to completely remove any Operating System is to delete the partition that it is on. Your best bet is to download Knoppix and burn that to a CD, then Boot from the CD and find the partitioning tool and delete the partition that the Operating System is on.
Device Manager
That depends:if it is just an upgrade of the existing operating system there may be an option to retain settings from the previous installationif it is a completely different operating system it will of necessity remove everything of the previous installation
XP is a complete operating system, not simply an operating environment.
