Why do you want to do this? Are you aware that Media Center is a
superset of XP Home? There are some extra features in Media Center,
but there's nothing in Home that isn't also in Media Center. If you
don't want to use the extra Media Center features, just don't use
them.
The only way to do this is doing a clean installation of XP. Just boot
from the Windows XP CD (change the BIOS boot order if necessary to
accomplish this) and follow the prompts for a clean installation
(delete the existing partition by pressing "D" when prompted, then
create a new one).
