I currently have Red Hat Linux 9 on a computer that used
to run Windows XP. I would like to know how to get rid of
Linux and put Windows XP on the computer again, or if I
can't, can I dual boot? How? Thank You.

An alternative method to do either removal of Linux and/or dual booting
would be to use a tool like [BING] BootItNG www.bootitng.com . Create the
BING setup floppy (or cd), boot with it, then you don't need to install it
(or pay for it), just say no and use "Partition Work" to delete the Linux
partitions then boot the XP cd and install XP on the entire disk. Or you can
install BING to a dedicated partition, resize the Linux partitions, then
install XP in the remaining free space. You could then use BING to
facilitate the dual booting.
