Buy a 30GB portable hard-drive.


Move everything you want to keep onto it.


Find a windows xp disk.


Delete your computer.


Install windows xp.


Run a virus check on your Portable Hard-Drive.

Be on your merry way.

first set your bios to boot from cd rom first, and not from hard drive. then then u put in xp and it attemps to install it will notice there is already an operating system presaent. it will ask if ud like to reinstall, repair, or install fresh(somethin like that)... pick reinstall then u can pick an option of deleting ur old partition. then just install a fresh copy of xp.
