How do I install Windows XP on different hard drives?
I installed Windows XP on all my 3 harddrives when I had problems with it getting to work.
Some hard drives even contain multiple installs.
How do I uninstall them?
Do I boot each windows on each hard drive and uninstall them via add/remove programs?
Should have added that I do not want to reformat them as I have too much data to loose.

A base O/S install doesn't work that way.
You will keep one as the master and you can remove the others from the boot menu by editing the boot.ini file to strip out the others (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/289022).
You can then use diskmanager in the XP install you kept to reformat those drives. Or you could just use windows explorer to delete all the files on them.

that's a weird setup!
I guess you could just boot from the working XP and format the hard drives containing the other copies (right click > format)

Assuming you are not using a bootloader and multi booting then just delete the partitions.

Why so complicated?
Format all of them, install winxp on one then plug the others in and they will work.
