well it's always a real shame to see anyone go, but to ditch it quickly, boot to the redhat cd in rescue mode, adn once you're in, use *linux* fdisk to remove the linux partitions. then XP should be able to install itself just fine.

Check my Public Bookmarks (see my signature block) I have links to MS sites which detail how to remove Linux and reinstall Windows.

Welcome to LQ, btw - hope you return to Linux soon

you can download simple boot floppies, like tomsrtbt which will also contain fdisk. just hit google.
