Buy and boot from a Windows XP cd.
No.
Yes. All you have to do is give Linux its own partition.
Windows XP is not in the direct upgrade path of Red Hat Linux 8.0. If you want to install Windows XP on a computer / server with RHL, you need to check the hardware specifications to see if Windows XP supports it.
You can by installing Windows in the normal fashion, but if you do, Mandriva Linux may be erased.
Format the hard drive, install another version of Windows, or a Linux distribution.
look in your users manual
Sounds like a problem with Windows XP. What you should have tried to do is take the original hard drive, put in the xp install disk, to the install, choose to format the hard drive, and then continue with the XP install. BTW: XP > Vista. Linux > XP. You should install Linux, instead of XP.
Before you format xp you will need to go onto Linux and create a grub boot disk by typing grub-install /dev/fd0. This will create a floppy disk which you can use to start Linux after you have removed and reinstalled xp. After removing and reinstalling xp use the disk to get back onto Linux and use grub-install /dev/hda to restore the Linux boot screen.
Linux is not an operating system by itself. Just like you cannot install Windows you have to install Windows XP or Windows Vista. You can use the website in related links to find a list of active Linux Distributions. If I could recommend one I would recommend Linux Mint because it is easy to use.
You can, in fact, put an operating system on the PlayStation 3. However, XP and Vista are out of the question. You can install one of several Linux distros, such as Yellow Dog, Fedora, OpenSUSE, or Debian. Just download the PowerPC or PS3 CD from the distro's website, burn it, and choose the "Install Other OS" option in the Settings menu.
