you just have one drive with one partition right? at the partition slection screen press d on your partition to delete it and confirm then press c to create a new partition at the selection screen and create a partition using full size, then slect the partition to install on. it will ask if you want to format it, select format using NTFS file system (or fat32 if you prefer it, if u dont know what either of these are i recomend u use FAT32 becuase it is easier to format later on). setup will now begin after it has formatted.Originally posted by DarkClown12@17 March 2004 - 16:37

Did you try the ram test I said you should try? Bad ram will make it impossible to install XP,windows 98 may install but XP will not if the ram is bad.You shoudl really give it a try before formatting that thing 10 times,it might just save you some time.
