Just download the windows 98 boot disk from the site Kelly suggested.
Put the file on a floppy and boot your computer with the floppy. When
the A:\ come up just type in FDISK. Delete the non-Dos partition.
Then Boot your computer with your XP disk You will be able to make a
new partition, reformat and load XP. Good Luck!
