When the computer first boots, look for some instructions to enter the BIOS. It may be something like Delete, F10, or F1. In the BIOS, look for the boot order and change it to boot of the CD Drive. Put your XP installation disk in the drive, save the BIOS, exit and reboot. Go through the XP installation and when it asks you about hard drive partitioning, delete all existing ones, and create a new one with a maiximum size. The rest of the XP installation is fairly straightforward. If you dont have an XP disk, I suggest buying an OEM version from a place like Newegg.
