How do I install Windows XP (to replace) on a laptop running Linux Mandriva?
I’ve changed the boot order to Optical drive "first" so that it boots from the WinXP CD in the drive, that didn’t work -it simply booted into Mandriva. I also tried it with SATA "disabled", then with SATA "enabled"…either way, the laptop just kept ignoring the WinXP CD and booted into Mandriva. Can someone help out, I absolutely hate Mndriva (while I love Ubuntu and Fedora). Thanx.

Are you sure that the Windows XP installation CD you are using is bootable? not all are. Try on another PC just to make sure.
