I am currently running windows ME on my home Compaq PC. After many many hours of grief I finally purchased windows XP home to use instead. I want to completely rid my computer of ME first and then put on XP as the new operating system. I know this has probably been asked numerous times but could someone help me out and tell me how (or where I can go to find out how) to uninstall windows ME? Thanks.

This page is from Dell, yes, but it should work for a Compaq. The instructions for installing Windows change little from OEM to OEM.
