You can't do this from within windows. Boot from the CD. Then delete
the current partition and create a new one. Then install XP

you better take that box to someone who knows what they are doing before you
do some real damage......a little knowledge is dangerous....no knowledge is
even more dangerous.....

If you want to keep your programs and such try
www.michaelstevenstech.com, "Repair/Install" procedure. I've used it
and the one by Charley White several times. It beats the heck out of
re-installing all the programs again.

Jspeedo,
If you can get windows started, Goto:
Start, Run, and type in msconfig.
Now click on the "Boot.ini" tab.(With the two choices that you have at
startup There should be two paths that look like this:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partion(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional"
/noexecute=optin /fastdetect)
Now Click "Check all boot paths".
It should tell you that one of the paths are incorrect and ask if you want
to remove it.
Hope this helps!
