How to uninstall linux abuntu and install XP ?

Question

I recently purchased an ex display web book installed with Ubuntu.
There are no boot disks or anything with it. I'm not a linux fan so purchased a new copy of xp and an external dvd drive to install it.
How do i uninstall ubuntu completely and install windows????
Im not a techy so a newbies guide would be extremely appreciated lol!!!
A million thanks to anyone who can help me.

Answer 1

What's a web book? Is it like a netbook?



In which case it may have limited RAM and limited hard disk space.



Many netbooks run Linux 'cos they are so feeble they cannot manage Windows.



If it has enough RAM (more than 512MB) and a big enough hard disk (at least 100MB) then you can install XP. The CPU may be a bit slow however.



Make sure you delete all existing partitions and so remove Linux entirely. Otherwise you may run out of hard disk space.

Answer 2

What you are saying is, you have a web book, where the current OS is Ubuntu and you want to install Windows XP on it right?



What you do, assuming you already have the external dvd drive attached, (usb i presume?) is put the Windows XP disk into the drive, and then reboot your computer. Once the boot up screen shows, quickly press F8 (it varies from computer to computer and the screen goes by pretty fast so be quick otherwise you'd need to restart and try again!). Once you get the menu, select the "Boot from DVD/CD drive". By doing so, it will bring you into an interface which will let you install XP.



That should do it!



Good luck!

You hard force could be partitioned, into what share sections examine by using using the command fdisk /status. you're able to be waiting to place in the two working structures on diverse partitions. Say on partition a million you have Your linux version, and on partition 2 you have your XP expert. to place in XP on a various partition, purely insert the disk, enter the setup, and while figuring out on which partition to place in on, elect a sparkling empty one. in case you elect to do away with linux, purely format your hard force to offer a sparkling foundation, then sparkling installation XP proffesional.
