Cancel XP setup!!!!!!HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

Hi all!!! I am not very computer literate so pls bear with me..I had some problems with my win xp, eg vfiruses, etc.a friend suggested reinstalling xp home edition sp2.the problem is, half way through the install process a blue screen comes up with errors and doesnt go any further..tried starting the pc again, but goes back to setup and same thing, cant boot into safe mode,etc..I just wanna cancel the setup and go back to the original os.HOW CAN I DO THIS…also worth noting is that i am living in spain, so the xp i got is in spanish, so i am not able to fully understand the errors..I searched on google and some of the answers were to use a linux live cd and get rid of setup but none of the answers said how this should be done….Any help would be greatly appreciated…THANKS

How do i turn an inactive partition into active using linux?

okay i tried to install linux but forgot about the extra partition i need to make for the swap file.i wanted to dual boot xp and linux ubuntu.so when i tried to boot back into xp it said that there was a problem with the operating system (os) and im guessing its because i deactivated the partition where xp is located and set to active the linux one (i havent installed linux im stll on the live cd but dont want to install it until i make and extra partition for the swap file). so my question is how can i set active the partition where i have xp using the linux live cd. or do i need to install ubuntu and forget about the swap file?any help is appreciated

Intel iMac running Linux..?

I’m wanting to try and get my new aluminium Intel iMac 2.4ghz with 24″ screen to run some linux live cd’s, not interested in running a dual or trip-boot system yet, just wanting to test the waters, but haven’t had much luck finding any that work yet…..Can someone point me in the right direction? thanks!
Although the first answer is helpful, I repeat, I DO NOT WANT TO INSTALL LINUX AT THIS TIME, I JUST WANT TO TEST LIVE CD’S, Thank you.
