changing operating systems

I am presently running a backup computer with Win2000
Professional.

I have received as a present a new copt of Windows XP
Home Edition.

How can I load this on my computer? I do not wish to buy
XP Professional for this computer.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

To do a clean install boot the Windows XP install CD-Rom. When you get to
the point, delete the existing NTFS and or other partitions found. After you
delete the partition(s) abort the install, then again restart the pc booting
the CD-Rom to avoid unexpected drive letter assignments with your new
install.
