How do i remove windows 7 beta from my computer? -

so i ran into some problems after installing windows 7 beta last night, it didn t have the drives i needed so i couldn t use my ethernet port. How do i remove the beta? and go back to using xp like i was before. I tried to use the xp install disc but it wouldn t work because the beta is newer then xp. also now when i try to run the xp disc it says it cant be read. now when i turn my computer on it won t load windows at all... so what can i do? is there a way i can just delete everything on my hard drive and just try to install windows xp again?

put the xp installation disc start up ur computer and press F12 choose reboot DVD rom or CD rom i just finished those steps and got my XP back.

You don t install a beta operating system on a computer that you need to use. It s a beta - it s to find bugs for Microsoft, not to use. Format your drive, then - if you have a full install version of XP, you ll be able to install it. (If all you have is an upgrade or repair disk, you ll have to buy XP.)

You can reformat the hard drive and reload Windows XP with your copy of windows XP that should have came with your PC.

You will need an XP bootable disk and then format the hard drive and do the install. Also make sure you have all the related drivers for Xp as well.

Go to control panel...then find remove software. Once it generates a list (it may take a couple of minutes), find Windows 7, and click uninstall.

I would suggest downloading dban wipe your drive and try install XP good luck! http://www.dban.org/
