Re: Linux to Windows (XP)
Johnnie;First of all make sure all your hardware is compatible with Windows
XP.
Then purchase and install Windows XP.

Re: Linux to Windows (XP)
Hi Johnnie,Just to expand a bit on JJ's sound advice, there is no upgrade or easy
convert path here. You will need to repartition and format. WinXP cannot use
the ext file system used by Linus. You may need to use Linux's pdisk utility
to remove the existing partitions before booting the WinXP CD and creating
NTFS or FAT32 ones.
