I know it is unorthodox, but I want to get rid of all the dng files I created and replace them with xmp files to go with my original raw (nef) files. Please don't tell me to stick with the dng files, I know what is recommended but I really can't do that...

You haven't indicated what program you are using. If you are using Lightroom then you will have to highlight each DNG/raw  pair and synchronize the settings. Then you will have to have Lightroom set up to write changes to XMP files. If you are using Photoshop/Bridge then you will have to right-click on each DNG file and copy the settings. Then right-click on the raw file and paste the settings. You cannot convert a DNG file to an XMP file as you suggest in the title of your message.

I'm just curious to know why you can't use the DNG files. Seems like a lot of work to go through just to be able to create XMP files.
