re-instaling xp on a multi-boot computer

Guest

Hi,

I have a multi-boot (windows 2k, me and xp). I tried to re-install xp
because I had problems with oracle installation. I started the installation
from CD from within XP, i went through set up and deleting the original xp
and then it started telling me some files could not be copied (e.g
c:\$win-nt$.~BT\tffsport.sys!!!!) and I had to keep pressing ESC. in the end
I decided to cancel installation and start again installing from windows me.
I still had the same problem but the files I was told were missing or corrupt
were different; the preparation step took more than 2 hours and I just
decided to cancel and ask the experts ;-)
Have i missed any step? was i supposed to delete some installation files
before re-installing?

thanks
