I just want to get rid of sme server and install a different os but i can't figure it out

[MSmith]

OK, I'll bite ... how about putting the OS install CD/DVD into the drive, booting from that and going forward?  If you need to wipe the drive beforehand, get the "Ultimate Boot CD" (google is your friend as always, or maybe "BING!") and use Darik's Boot & Nuke or the drive manufacturer's utility to erase the drive THEN use the OS install CD.

Maybe he's just complaining that SME is so good, he can't even get away from it

this is not a SME issue.. it's a PEBKAC one..

hint: check your bios setup
