719221 2008-11-10 15:35:00 Reformat the partition and then install XP.
Or you could just install XP as it will format the partition to suit itself.

719222 2008-11-10 19:02:00 firstly before you install Xandros, back up any data on the xp partition.

Then want I would do is using qpart (free, google and download, its also non destructive ie wont destroy exsisting data, but to be safe Backup) partition the hard drive. Then install Xandros on the secound partition you have just created using the Xandros boot loader to control which Os you boot into.

Also I would visit The Xandros user forums and do some reading and ask questions there also

Quite easy really - after you have saved any data you want to keep from Xandros - simply boot from the XP Pro CD, select delete partitions, then let it format and install XP as per a normal install (follow on screen instructions).
