Hi cedervall,

When you put in the CD and formated, did you do a full format or qiuck format??? If you want, you could get a win98 boot disk and format the drive from there....

If you want to format large partitions with FAT32 you need to FDISK first.

When you boot from the CD, delete the existing partition and create a new one, then install XP on that partition. It should format it for you.
