Insert any Linux bootable CD.
Format the hard drive as FAT32.
Actually formatting it as the default (ext2 or ext3) works very well. Then
XP says, "I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS IS!" and you can have XP format it NTFS,
which is much better than FAT32.
Reboot and insert XP install disk and follow all prompts.
Yup, and wait around during the entire install because XP doesn't ask all
the questions first like Linux typically does.
