Put the XP CD in the optical drive, restart the PC and when it asks if you
wish to boot from the optical drive, the answer is YES. From then on, it's
simply a matter of following the onscreen instructions, formatting the
current hard drive, repartitioning it (even if it's a single partition) and
then installing XP.

options.
