I have Windows XP Home Edition and Windows XP Professional on my computer. I would like to delete the XP Home.

I have Windows XP Home and XP Professional on my computer at home. It creates a nuisance for me and almost every time I restart the computer I need to boot from the CD of XP Professional. I would like to reformat the drive and install only XP Professional only. How do I do that?

I have already backed up some files I have so I have nothing to lose except the two BONES being problematic nuisance

You will need the installation CD. Insert the CD in the drive. Turn on the computer and look at the bottom or top for orders of F. If you have an order for the Boot Manager (usually F12) then keep hitting at the time wherever you turn on the computer. Select the option of CD drive to boot from the CD.

Note: If you do not have a Boot Manager option then you will need to go into your BIOS, sometimes called Setup (key F2 usually). You can get the boot option and change the boot priority. You do not want to move the CD player to the first on this list. Save and restart.

Follow the instructions and when you get to the screen that talks about partitioning, remove the partitions selected with the D key (it will erase all data on a disk (s)). Format using NTFS on the screen following and all simply continue with the installation after that.
