Reformat Hard Drive
Thanks for the tip. It said, "You may not want to delete this last partition if it contains system information/configuration. You may have to install Win XP on the HD before you can use it." I deleted all partitions and then created a brand new one booting from the Windows XP disk...- YPLHasher

Reformat Hard Drive
I tried but couldn't find this question answered. Can you delete all partitions of a HD including the system partition and then load Windows XP on? Do I need a floppy with fdsk on it or will the Windows XP just ask me if I want to create a new partition? Thanks, John- YPLHasher
