How easy will it be for a PC novice to change server from LINUX to Windows XP?

I am having an issue with my Kodak 5300 AIO as apparently Linux doesn't support Kodak any more. I don't really want to get rid of my AIO and was toying with going back to Windows. How easy would it be to do? Would I need to find 'drivers' for everything or will they be on the XP disk? Any advise will gratefully appreciated.How easy will it be for a PC novice to change server from LINUX to Windows XP?
If you mean change your operating system then it is quite simple if you have the XP disk.



As for drivers XP is getting old now so you will no doubt have to update some.



To be honest your best bet is to get Windows 7, it is excellent %26amp; comes with XP built in so you get the best of both worlds.How easy will it be for a PC novice to change server from LINUX to Windows XP?
You will need to get the disk and reinstall WinXP

Sorry :/
Did your pc originally come with windows installed?

If you have the original xp disc and serial code, it will be possible, not always as easy as people think though.

I had a pc with linux installed, it wouldn`t boot from the xp disc until I formatted the drive first with a bootable drive cleanser.

You may have some drivers missing after reinstallation.
Kodak doesn't release linux drivers and currently refuses to do so. This is not the fault of the Linux developers, who have tried to make this model work before.



If you choose to go back to windows, you'll need to find drivers for everything, I can't reccomend xp either. Windows 7 is your best bet probably, though it requires fully signed drivers for everything now, so compatability with your machine may be an issue.



Up to you!
