Installing XP over NT 4.0

[Nicki]

Hi - I'm attempting to install XP Pro over an old server
that ran on NT 4.0 and keep getting a STOP error saying
the hard drives are not configured correctly. Am I not
able to install over NT or do I have some other problem?
I would like to just wipe the drive clean, but I can't
seem to be able to figure that out either.

Any help would be appreciated.

You cannot upgrade any of the Windows NT 4.0 Server products
to Windows XP Home or Professional editions.
