AnswerPut in your Windows XP CD and boot the system to start the installation. The OS will search for an existing copy, when it finds it, delete the partition. (please make sure you have all the info off the drive before doing this). Then create a new partition. Change the size to allow maybe 1GB worth of space (such as a 40GB drive, use only 38GB and leave 2GB free, otherwise it will reuse the flags and not do a proper install. Now just complete the XP installation.
