Often when you are first getting to know a new technology, like Oracle VM, the second thing you want to know is how do I get OVM OFF my computer!
Here is how.
Download and burn the GParted Live CD, go through it and remove all the partitions.
Next use a windows xp cd, boot with it and choose recovery mode. From there execute the command 'fixmbr' to remove the linux bootloader.
You may need to create a NTFS partition or something, but now you should be able to install Win XP or whatever you want to.
