linux leaves partitions behind that windows format will not get rid of. Only a low level format will get rid of them AFAIK. There are smarter people here than me, but my experience is this: Windows after linux dont work real well. As far as I can tell, linux uses 3 partitions, and trying to just install windows, or even using windows in the same drive is a problem. This is just my 2 cents worth. I hope you get it working.

Low level formatting isn't needed. All you need to do is delete all the partitions with a partitioning tool. I like Ranish Partition Manager: http://www.ranish.com/part/

IT'S ALIVE! The guy that messed up the computer in the first place, uninstalled Linux, and made the linux partition into free space. Grub was then getting in the way. So he basically didn't uninstall it completely. But it's fixed now, I basically just formated the whole drive, and deleted the partitions, reinstalled Windows XP Pro, and now it works just fine. Thank you all for your help! (screw windows help, the just posted once, and never again)
