Fresh XP Professional install

[lowerwolf]

I currently have a dual-boot system with XP home and SuSE Linux on my Hard drive and would like to upgrade to XP professional (whilst in the process removing SuSE). Is their any way to do this without completely clearing my HD? If not, how would I go about completely clearing my Hard drive?

Thank you for any help you can give. Much appreciated

Simply boot to dos 7.x from cd. Use fdisk & make the windows partition active. Format it to fat32 & set it as active. Next boot your installation cd. Your winxp should install normally. You will have to use use your Suse installation cd to reactivate/reinstall grub.

Hope this helps.
