You would need to describe your hard drive partition layout first. Normally you just erase the parition and re-do the boot sector

If you've already got XP installed then install the EXT2IFS program - thread in this forum - so you can copy any files from your linux partition. Then simply erase the partition.

You need to rebuilt the MBR for windows using the command FDISK /MBR
