Well there's backing up whatever data you want, which entirely depends on how much you have. Could take between ten minutes and ten hours, or more.
Actually installing XP is pretty quick, about half an hour. Depends on comp speed; it used to take about two hours on my old comp.
Then setting XP up (i.e. updates, basic programs, drivers) depends on your connection speed; between an hour to three on average for me.
Usually I wait for the weekend for this sort of thing
