Try this for starters:
- Get a large dog to guard your PC.
- Boot the machine with your WinXP CD.
- Boot it into the Recovery Console.
- Run these commands:
fixboot
fixmbr

Great!

For your information: Caldera, or any other OS for that, ***cannot***
take over everything. It cannot bypass the BIOS boot to CD, provided
that you remember to set your BIOS boot sequence accordingly.
 
Remove the floppy disk!
