Some errors may occur. Get used to it, you are now a Windows user, right?d. Type w, and then press ENTER to write this information to the partition table. Some error messages may be generated (because information is written to the partition table), but they should not be significant at this point because the next step is to restart the computer and then install the new operating system.
Will this work in the Linux environment? Not that I know of...f. Insert either a bootable floppy disk or the bootable Windows XP CD-ROM, and then press CTRL+ALT+DELETE to restart your computer.
Of course...Microsoft does not support the installation of Windows XP on partitions manipulated in this manner.
