Hi Don, You're on the right track. Boot your system and insert the XP disk. When it boots the install screen appears, and asks you if you want a upgrade or fresh install. Choose fresh install, then an options screen appears; choose "I want to choose partition in which to install Windows, etc..." and a display of your harddrive appears. Remove all partitions until only RAW space shows, then re-set your partitions(s) and format in NTFS; after the formatting the install starts automatically.
