What happens when you boot off your XP cd?
What happens when you boot off your XP cd and delete/recreate the partition?

"It is not working" is NOT a detailed enough answer.

If it will not let you do that, if you can't give us exact details on what happens, you might as well DBAN the drive, we aren't going to fight you any more. We can't see your screens through the Internet. |

Boot off your XP cd
 When prompted - DELETE the partition and then recreate the partition and then format. Everything that was on the partition will be gone....and the XP installation will begin. |
