Assuming you upgraded and elected to store your old files, follow the following:
Start Windows XP normally or start in safe mode (Press F8 key on boot up)
Click “Start”
then open “Control Panel”
now select “Add or Remove Programs”
You should now be in “Change or Remove Programs”.
If so click on “Windows XP Uninstall”,
then “Change/Remove”,
and then click “Uninstall Windows XP”.
Click “Yes” at the next warning screen to start the Windows XP removal process.
Once completed your computer will restart, and boot to the previously-installed operating system.
This being said in my experience uninstalls of upgrades have lead to other problems.
Unless there is a good reason i would do a clean install of NT4
