Hi Steve, be glad to help anyone get rid of XP, just insert a windows 98 
startup floppy in the drive and then startup the computer, at the A:\ 
prompt type fdisk and delete the partition on the hard drive, then 
create a new partition using the whole drive, when done reboot the 
computer and at the A:\ prompt type format C:\ when that is done reboot 
with the knoppix cd in the drive and go from there. I take it the 
computer boot from the cd rom drive already, if not go into bios and 
make the cdrom the second boot device after the floppy and hd0 the third 
and you should be ok. A quick look on google will give you the info on 
using fdisk and also the format command, use a win98 startup disk, that 
the drive will be formattted fat 32.
