With the Windows XP CD. Do a google search on how to install Windows, or contact Microsoft if you don't know.
I believe that's incorrect. One often first needs to boot into Linux and use fdisk to remove or reformat (in fat32 or ntfs, if possible).
At least some Windows CDs simply won't see a Linux partition and will say there is no available disk.
However, unlike Linux, MS tends to document things very well, at least from the sysadmin's viewpoint. (Programmers tell me the opposite is the case in programming documentation). Searching the MS knowledge base using terms like reformat Linux partition should give you a result where they walk you through it.
