XP is pretty easy to install. It takes about a Hour. The problem will be your Computer doesn't really have enough Ram to run XP. I would suggest getting rid of the 128 meg stick, and put in two sticks of 256 megs. XP needs about 512 megs of Ram to run well. Right now if you install XP it would run really slow.

to install XP
Disconnect all external devices like Printers, etc you can install them later
Set CDrom to be first Boot Device in Bios
Boot to XP CD, and read prompts
At Partition Screen Delete Partitions
Now Create New Partition
Format Partition, in ntfs, or Fat 32
The Install Starts, and follow Prompts
After Install Go to Device Manager, and look for missing Drivers
Install Missing Drivers
Make sure Firewall Enabled
Get Internet working
Install Programs
