Put your XP disc in to your CD drive and reboot. If the computer BIOS
is set to boot from the CD before the hard drive things are good
otherwise you have to change your BIOS settting.

When the computer boots from the CD, it will run the setup program (blue
screens with text). During this, there will be a screen where it will
ask which partition to install XP into. Other options on this screen
include: delete parition, create partition using empty space (or
something very similar to these options). Select to delete the current
partition that has XP on it. Go through a couple of verification
screens. Once back to the partition screen, create a partition using
the empty space and install XP into it.

HTH,

Just start running setup(boot from CD) and read your
prompts it will give you the option.
