In doing a clean install from 98-SE to XP the setup goes
into a catch-22 on the partition. When I try to continue
the install it says the partition is not XP compatible.
I've deleted, created, etc with no results. I chose the
NTFS option earlier in setup. This is all on my old
computer and there are no programs and files to worry
about.

Try installing xp cd,restart computer,boot to cd,select install xp,ne
copy.Let xp reformat the drive before installation,if xp is full version you ca
select repair,press enter for password,at cmd screen type:DiskPart
delete partition or create a new one,then type:EXIT Then type:FORMAT /
for options,usually goes like:FORMAT C: /FS:ntf
When thru,type:EXIT let it reboot,reselect boot to cd,install xp.
