How to reinstall windows xp

I don't deny that XP can have problems, but I also think that it can be
very good, if setup and looked after properly, as can fedora (otherwise
I wouldn't be on this list) 

I just think flat saying all XP's are bad and all Fedoras are good is a
bit too general. I have supported 1000's of machines in the past and
both kinds have had problems. All have there place.

My job is to support XP - I look after over 500 boxes and 60 odd members
of staff plus almost 2000 students. It gives me no end of headaches, so
I retreat to my lovely warm desk where FC5t1 is running without a hitch.
It says something that my x86 box which has gone from RH6 to FC4 before
it bit the dust is still the same spec as it always was whereas the
Win32 boxes keep having to go up and up and up while security and
reliability drop faster than SCO's stock price.

It's not a case of choice any more - there is none. If I want it to
work, I don't go near a Windows box.

TTFN
