Perderabo has agood workable solution. Your suggestion of copying to a USB drive while you reinstall windows is also a good solution. reborg suggests using "live CD" with a linux OS on it. If ...

Sounds like you want to use Windows XP but add the ability to run some windows programs. I'd do it the other way around, but you can do it that way. Instead of using VMware, look into using...
