Windows xp uninstall/remove

[Blunet600]

ok. i installed windows XP on my laptop twice (why = because i am a fool) and now its screwed it up, the keys arent what they say they are . ie. when i press the @ key, what actually appears on the screen is "
i also cannot install the wireless adapter with xp overriding the original install. so how do i remove it from the system? i have tried inserting CD and hoping it comes up with install, but it doesnt, and i have no system restore cds. any way i can do it? or has any1 had the same problem how did you get around it?

Just set the bios to start on cdrom, then put in your xp cd and reboot.
It will then start the xp cd and allow you to format, you can also remove partions and other windows setups from here.

how do i do this? how do i set the BIOS?

you usually have to press an F key during bootup to get into your bios. most times its F10 or F12. check the manual for your PC/motherboard and it'll tell you.

BTW the @ appearing as " is just your regional settings...change it from US to UK in control panel.
