How to Install Windows XP on Linux OS
If you prefer the comfort of a Microsoft-based operating system over Linux, it's possible to install Windows XP over your current Linux-based operating system. Accomplish this by removing the partition containing the Linux OS during the XP installation procedure. Back up important files before beginning, as this will erase all information on the Linux drive.
