uninstall and reinstall XP?

I bought a French computer eighteen months ago and wish to uninstall the French version of XP which is Home Edition and install an English version of XP Pro.

Is it easy to uninstall XP, and install a different version please? If anyone knows how to do it please could you tell me?

Thanks for the help.

You don't uninsall windows. You just format your hard drive and install windows. Follow the instructions given by Martoch.

cant he do a repair of windows?
wich will in escence "upgrade" his to the new xp pro english version?
instead of deleting the partition, you choose to install to the partitoin with windows already on it, it will then search dor the previous version, find it, and offer to repair it.
This deletes the main windows files and replaces them with the new version.
