Hi
2 Gig of C drive is too small to run XP. I would suggest you to delete the existing OS and then reformat the C drive to at least 15 Gig. After you have clean installed XP. Go to disk management and the format and partition the rest of the free space of the HDD
Boot with the XP CD in the drive. When you see the message on the boo
screen to "Press any key in order to boot from the CD," do so
After loading drivers and files, you should be taken to a screen with the following
To Setup Windows XP now, press ENTER
To Repair a Windows XP Installation using Recovery Console press R
To Quit setup without installing Windows XP, press F3
In your case, press ENTER
Agree to the License agreement by pressing F8
You will then be taken to a screen with two options
To repair the selected Windows XP installation press R
To continue installing a fresh copy of Windows XP without repairing, press ESC
This will bring you to a partition map where you can delete, create and format partitions
Select the drive you wish to format, delete the partition, then create a new partition, format as desired and continue with XP installation
Hope it helps
Pete
