you can use bootxp to use a custom screen  ... you can also use ur run dialogue and type msconfig .. press enter ...navigate to the bootini tab ... then check noguiboot, then apply, then ok ... to remove it altogether to speed ur boot ...

Create a boot disk www.bootdisk.com , now insert the floppy with the boot information on it into your drive, boot the computer and use the following command: FORMAT C:/S \n\nOnce it is complete set your BIOS to boot to CD before the Hard Drive and install XP...easy!

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 ^_^

From Ubuntu, edit the file /boot/grub/menu.lst. Find the line that says, "default 0" and change it to the number that is your Windows boot option. Each menu entry starts with "title=<blah>", and they are numbered from the top of the file to the bottom, starting from 0.\n\nHope this helps...

1. Place your Windows XP CD in your cd-rom and start your computer (it’s assumed here that your XP CD is bootable – as it should be - and that you have your bios set to boot from CD)\n\n    2. Keep your eye on the screen messages for booting to your cd Typically, it will be “Press any key to boot from cd”\n\n    3. Once you get in, the first screen will indicate that Setup is inspecting your system and loading files.\n\n    4. When you get to the Welcome to Setup screen, press ENTER to Setup Windows now\n\n    5. The Licensing Agreement comes next - Press F8 to accept it.\n\n    6. The next screen is the Setup screen which gives you the option to do a Repair.\n\n    It should read something like “If one of the following Windows XP installations is damaged, Setup can try to repair it”\n\n    Use the up and down arrow keys to select your XP installation (if you only have one, it should already be selected) and press R to begin the Repair process.\n\n    7. Let the Repair run. Setup will now check your disks and then start copying files which can take several minutes.\n\n    8. Shortly after the Copying Files stage, you will be required to reboot. (this will happen automatically – you will see a progress bar stating “Your computer will reboot in 15 seconds”\n\n    9. During the reboot, do not make the mistake of “pressing any key” to boot from the CD again! Setup will resume automatically with the standard billboard screens and you will notice Installing Windows is highlighted.\n\n    10. Keep your eye on the lower left hand side of the screen and when you see the Installing Devices progress bar, press SHIFT + F10. This is the security hole! A command console will now open up giving you the potential for wide access to your system.\n\n    11. At the prompt, type NUSRMGR.CPL and press Enter. Voila! You have just gained graphical access to your User Accounts in the Control Panel.\n\n    12. Now simply pick the account you need to change and remove or change your password as you prefer. If you want to log on without having to enter your new password, you can type control userpasswords2 at the prompt and choose to log on without being asked for password. After you’ve made your changes close the windows, exit the command box and continue on with the Repair (have your Product key handy).\n\n    13. Once the Repair is done, you will be able to log on with your new password (or without a password if you chose not to use one or if you chose not to be asked for a password). Your programs and personalized settings should remain intact.

First, do start -control panel -add & remove programs\nRemove any you don't want/use.\nThen do start - run. Enter 'msconfig' without the quotes and (if you know what they are) disable any programs from starting up on boot that you don't want to.\nSpyware/adware scans are probably worth doing, if you don't do them regularly already.
