Format hard drive and reinstall XP

[crs-7 \(delthis\)]

XP setup disk will not let me delete existing partition
and reformat before installing same version XP. Copies
setup files to hard disk and then says that this is the
reason I can't partition hard disk. Does not give any
option where to copy setup files. Use Fdisk dos commands?

yes I would try the fdisk, you could use dos of if you

have and old 98startup disk use that.
