hello friends

Windows XP setup (Installation) is going on I am not able to delete all partition's data beforehand or before making format of partition where is a windows XP full program with Partition Magic to run the Installation from the beginning (Start) because it is written NTFS files are missed. I hope that after format of the Partition this partition is not active and setup from the CD is absent I can try to do it with 6 floppy discs. It is evident that other program is going on and table is to suggest for you to upgrade or to install new Windows XP when all data of the partition is left (without deleting them). I hope that something it is needful to do with BIOS setup program to close all influence of the data which is in the hard disc that Installation or setup program would start from CD That is if we remove Hard disc everything is to start and work properly saying that it is not possible to find out the Hard disk when setup of Windows XP is running

thank you
 
Hi Paul00,

I am sorry, Paul, but I (and most likely others) am having trouble understanding your post. English does not appear to be your native language.

As I understand - you are trying to install xp and are having trouble with partioning?

Try to put the problem simply - and use more full stops! -(.)

Like this:-

1. Can not install XP
2. Can not re-partion Hard Disk.
3. Tried this.
4. Tried that.

Mabee someone will help!
