Comment:
have 1 hdd, and 2 primary partitions. C:[OS] D:[DATA]
i booted from winxp reinstall cd to delete my C: partition. my D: partition automagically renamed itself to C:[DATA]?
how do "free" up the C: again? so i can install windows on it?

First partition is C:. You deleted your first partition so now DATA is the first one. Simply recreate OS partition on the free space of your disk and reboot.
