Hi Alex, I've had considerable experience with Windows and from what you say you need to reformat you disk and install a copy of (I would suggest) Windows98 or ME and then upgrade to Windows XP. Before you install you Linux make sure you leave adequate unpartitioned free space on the hard drive. If you live in the UK contact me through another e-mail address which is [EMAIL PROTECTED] and there is some more practical help I can offer. Regards, David.
