Hi theog !
An alternative may be tried . If the windows 7 partition is deleted using Partition Wizard Bootable CD , I hope there would not be any problem installing xp .

Partition Wizard will not make sata drivers for Win XP.

From what I find out you have Intel.

As you have Linux installed,
All Linux code must be deleted.
Disk - Clean and Clean All with Diskpart Command
Try a full clean & full format.
1) Boot DVD.
2) Press Shift+F10 (for command prompt)

Type in command line
DISKPART
LIST DISK
SELECT DISK # (win HD)
CLEAN ALL
CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
SELECT PARTITION 1
ACTIVE
FORMAT=NTFS
ASSIGN
EXIT
EXIT

theog, thanks for your time i will try this now.

SGT Oddball, Don't know what activate means for Windows7, I have 0 expirience with it.

Do you have a floppy drive?
