Try this, put the XP cd-rom in the drive, boot off of that, format the drive when the setup prompts you if you want to format, and select yes, and try to continue with setup. ------------------ IP: Logged |

You should not use fdisk to set-up XP. Is the drive set as master? or cable select? IP: Logged |
