You cant uninstall an OS as such. Youd have to format and install another OS.
Yes, but to remove all who have in HDD, What is that program ? the program is in install in boot i think... ?
If you're booting to a DOS environment, you can use FDISK to delete the partitions and thus all operating systems.
A Linux utility was mentioned in another thread that can do the same thing (DBAN ???).
You can also use FDISK to wipe the Master Boot Record by typing fdisk / mbr.
Once you use FDISK to delete the partition then you have to rebuild a new one to put your next OS onto your hard drive.
I may be a bit off because I haven't had to use it in like forever, but it is one method to get done what you ask.
*late note* You can also boot to to a Windows XP, Windows 2000 install disk and use the setup program to delete and reformat a partition. May be better especially if you hard drive is larger than 512 MB.
Have a look at this from Microsoft:

FDISK may be considered crude by today's standards but it is very effective.

Okay, Tnx rkseagle.
since XP there is an formatting tool implemented in the windows installing process
Hi there
1) download the GPARTED ISO (The Linux utility I also mentioned in another thread) It's OPEN SOURCE - hence FREE.
2) Create Bootable ISO
3) Boot it
4) Delete all partitions on the disk.
Now it's Wiped 100%
You don't need to know any Linux commands to use this - it boots into a Graphical menu which is just like windows. Re-size partitions by noving the mouse. Delete via right mouse click on the partition or the menu. Can also create, format etc etc.
(If you need to do a "Security Wipe" then you need to create a LIVE CD say a Linux Live CD, boot it and then write HEX '00' on every disk sector / cluster).
Normally just deleting the partitions is fine to clear a Disk in prep for re-formatting.
Here's the GPARTED link and a screen dump
GParted -- Live CD/USB/PXE/HD
