Reinstalling Windows XP

[Derek]

I needed to uninstall and then reinstall my Home version
of XP. I uninstalled the system, and it reverted me back
to Windows ME, my previous operating system. Now I am
trying to reinstall XP, but during setup I am getting the
error that I have multiple operating systems running on my
computer and I can't install XP......HELP!

The Windows XP CD is bootable and contains all the tools necessary
to partition and format your drive. Follow this procedure and allow
Windows XP to partition and format your drive:

1. Open your BIOS and set your CD Drive as the first bootable device.
2. Insert your Windows XP CD in the CD Drive and reboot your computer.
3. You'll see a message to boot to the CD....follow the instructions.
4. The setup menu will appear and you should elect to delete the existing
Windows partitions, then create a new partition, then format the primary
partition (preferably NTFS) and proceed to install Windows XP.

5. Clean Install Windows XP
