This procedure requires the WIN XP CD.

Install your Win XP cd in the cd drive.

Reboot.

When you get to the setup screen, make like you were doing
a fresh install and when you get to the "Select a
partition to install to" you need to select the
partition/drive that Win XP is ALREADY on, and click OK.

You will then be presented with a message along the lines
of "XP already detected on this partition, would you like
to repair?"

Click Yes/Ok to repair your XP without losing any data or
settings.
