    Hi everyone,

    I am currently using Linux OS for my AAO but really dislike it and constantly having issues with it. I really want to change to WindowsXP or 7.

    Can someone please give me info on how I do this...

    Any help would be appreciated.

    There are entire subfora dedicated to that ;)
    Most people choose either a real linux distribution instead of the crippled Linpus - Ubuntu netbook remix is a popular choice atm - or XP. See the fora for more details:)

    make a new ntfs partition without deleting your current one, then install windows on that new partition, and use a bootable linux USB to install grub and choose between the two!
