You know what you could do? Install a virtual xp. I don't know what linux distro you have , but innotek virtual box or vmware works great.
Then you could have your linux computer and xp . Virtual machines rock too. Good luck

Buy a Windows XP or Vista Install disk with a product key (or find your old one). Put it in the computer. Restart the computer. Follow the instructions. All of your linux data will be deleted. Backup your data online or to removable storage if you want to save it.
