Subject: RE: Install WinXP
Install XPde (http://www.xpde.com/shots.php) desktop environment and
tell her its WindowsXP...

...but seriously, what are her reasons for wanting WindowsXP?

Did you create a partition for WindowsXP? I don't know if this is true
with XP, but on other versions of Windows, it had to be installed on the
first partition (this could screw you over if Linux is already installed
there).

You could always check Google for "install windows xp linux system" or
something along those lines.
