What I suggest you do is to reformat the whole hard disk and once
again, perform a CLEAN install. This time, make sure to delete all the
partitions when you get to the screen on the install. Next, create a
new partition and install Windows XP on that. In the end, you should
only have on partition, which is the one you got XP installed on. Hope
that clears everything up.
