Use a windows 98 boot disk and fdisk to delete partitions.  Also run
fdisk /mbr to remove grub.  I would create a partion with fdisk and then
allow windows xp to convert to ntfs during the install.  RH9 and grub
can handle the install after xp is setup.

Hi All,

I just recently had fun going from RedHat 8.0 to 9.0. Getting the ISO's 
was a pain, but once I got the disc made, installation was a snap. NOW, 
I would like to take this RH9 system and make it a dual boot system with
RH9 and windows XP. Is there a was to completely fdisk, remove, get rid 
of the RH9 install, (including the Grub app.) start over with a cleared 
& clean hard disk and do the dual boot installation?, Again, the main 
thing that I want to get past is clearing out the hard drive so I can 
split\partition it down the middle and install my OS's. Thanks.

D-
