Hi, I'm trying to reformat my hard drive through the Win
XP setup cd. I shut down the computer with the cd in the
drive, and then turn it back on and can get to the
Windows setup program. However, whenever I try to delete
the one partition I have on my computer (that already has
xp installed on it), it returns this message-
"Setup is unable to perform the requested operation on
the selected partition. This partition contains
temporary setup files that are required to complete the
installation.
To continue, press Enter"
And so, I can't delete the partition in order to install
XP on a clean hard drive! I can only reinstall XP on my
cluttered hard drive, and that doesn't do me any good.
Has anyone else had this problem, or know of a possible
fix?
Thanks!
Travis.
