I cant install XP on a hard drive that had Linux (Centos 3) previously installed. Any suggestions would be appreciated

Boot knoppix and "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=2048 count=1" as root, which will nuke the MBR and partition table off the drive (/dev/sda if it's a SCSI drive) Microsoft's tools sometimes get confused by mbr's and/or partition schemes they can't recognise.
