The official instructions for a Repair Install (also known as an in-place
upgrade) are in Knowledge Base article 315341.
To do a Clean Install, just boot from the WinXP CD-ROM and follow the
instructions. Be sure to NOT tell it to Upgrade from some earlier Windows
version, and be sure to put the new installation into a separate volume
(primary partition or logical drive in an extended partition) from any
existing Windows installation.
