Many ways! Depends on your flavour! You can simply put the XP cd in and do a fresh install over win2k, you can buy a second hard drive and install XP on it and run two seperate operating systems (my favorite)!

Indeed it can, with limited functionality.  You will need the ability to boot from a flash drive, Bart PE Builder (freeware) and you will be able to install Windows XP on the flash drive along with other software, if you have space.  It's a fairly complicated process so for the sake of ease I am including the link, http://www.tomshardware.com/2005/09/09/windows_in_your_pocket/index.html

Extremely extensive support of all kinds of hardware for Windows XP compared to Linux.  Webcams, scanners, bluetooth devices, remotes, external usb devices, video hardware, etc etc - all are supported really well and detected by Windows.\n\nWhich is not to say that Linux doesn't have pretty extensive coverage of hardware, it does!!!  But Windows XP is going to be just a few more things better.  And if you have that one device that is not supported by Linux it is a bummer.\n\nAnother point is that software such as Microsoft Office runs on Windows, not Linux, although there are things like OpenOffice for you to do all the same things.\n\nIf you'd like to try Linux without installing it or affecting your PC, check out Knoppix.  You can download a CD .ISO file (image) and burn it to a CD.  You then put in that CD and boot up your PC, voila you are running linux.\n\n-PETER

I'm not sure this is what you are looking for but you can make a bootable version of Windows XP to install to a flash drive should your hard drive ever fail, read the tutorial from Tom's Hardware for more information, http://www.tomshardware.com/2005/09/09/windows_in_your_pocket/index.html

First thing \n\nAre you having any files in the partition you try to install windows Xp?\n\nIf no is the answer then try to format the partition and have a clean install\n\nIf yes is the answer and you want to retain the files and software which you have installed previously follow the steps\n\n1) Insert the bootable disc in to the drive\n2) Then select to install the os\n3) You will be warned about the existing operating system in the partition \n4) You will also be given an option either to repair that os or clean installation\n5) Since you are in need of files contained in that partition select the repair option \n6) This will solve your problem at the most\n7) Try to unplug any network cables or gadgets connected to the laptop during installation since the shortage of drivers may also sometime hung the installation

Pre: make sure you're windows XP is bootable\n\nMake your CD-Rom as 1st Boot. to do this, go to "Bios Setup" by pressing "Del" or "F2" for some system just read on the screen during POST.\n\nthen after that, you'll see an installation window. Next, since it's not formatted yet, you'll see there a formatting option so just go on with the window instruction. it's so easy.\n\nThen you'll have you'r cd formatted and XP installed. Just follow what the window instsallation said so.. Thanks.\n\nand oh, please don't forget to rate my answer.. thanks and good luck ^_^

Wow.. i would NOT put windows XP on that machine.  Your best choice i think would be a stripped down install of linux or Win98 SE at the most Win2k.\n\nIf you want to upgrade the system. The first step would be to get the ram up to at the very least 256MB and the hard drive up to about 10GB.  This will give you enough install flexability for whatever OS you end up choosing.

You can definitely have Linux and Windows Xp as dual boot on ur system. I have 2 linux distros and Windows Xp on my 40GB harddisk. 250 GB is a very high amt of hard disk space.. You can have anything you want installed on it..\n\nBefore going for dual boot, you need to know how to patition the disk for linux installation, and on what steps you should take before doing it..(as you say you are a newbie to linux).. Refer http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/install-guide/ch-x86-dualboot.html\n\nWhile partitioning, dont allow it to do autopartition, as it would eat up all the free space u have.. Choose "Manual Partition with diskdruid" option and partition it as follows..\n\nYou may assign some 10GB for linux, where the partitioning may be as follows:\n\nMount Point   -----          Size\n------------------------------\n/        ------         5GB\n/home    ------         5GB\n/boot    ------         100MB\nSWAP     ------  3 x RAM_SIZE if ur RAM is less than 512MB if RAM is >512 MB, have ur SWAP as 750MB (This is my personal opinion after a lot of performance testing and optimization)\n\nYou can mount your FAT or NTFS format drives(windows drives) with linux.. so, u dont neeed to assign much extra space to linux, as ext3(linux format) drives cant be seen from windows. You can instead use the mounted windows drives itself for data storage on linux also. This way you can have the maximum amount of hard disk usable on both OSes.\n\nTo start with, Mandriva or Fedora should be good options, as regards to distro.\n\nHope this helps you in installing a dual boot system succesfully.\n\n(PS: Remember that installing Windows XP first and then installing linux is the easiest way, as linux would detect windows and boot it, whereas windows wont detect linux. Though there are other ways to recover linux partition if u install linux before installing windows, its not the recommended way for a newbie)

If you don't have factory reinstall discs, and don't want to re-install windows then you need PowerQuest Partition Magic 8.0.\n\nUsing this software you can partition hard drive and format the new partition in any format you want without any risk to your files provided you have enough hard drive space left.\n\nYou can download trial version by searching on google. This is what I did with my Compaq laptop to install linux OS without re-installing windows XP.\n\nOnce the new partition is ready, copy your personal files as a backup on it.\n\nP.S. In case of hard drive failure, you won't be able to retreive anything from any of the partitions.

Simply install XP on your zip drive when it ask how to format? ;-) simply type FAT 32 it will work
