ok, so i was running win98 on my compaq, when i decided to change my os to win xp. so i formatted my hard drive, but now i can't get xp to install. it will get as far as the reboot stage, and then it will fail to open up the partition.

what can i do? anything?

what i can do wrong, you can do better.
