What will happen if I choose to press Enter in Setup?

[Richard]

Circumstances are that I've got a boot manager installed and I'm trying to
install XP Pro on a newly created primary partition.

When I boot up with my XP installation disk in CDROM, I'm first given the
option of booting up with CDROM. Then the boot manager comes up and I can
select either the new or old primary partition.

When I choose to boot up from CDROM I get Setup running and it comes to a
point when I can choose the following option:

"To set up Windows XP now press Enter."

What will happen if I press Enter?

Will I be given a choice of primary partitions to set up (presumably
install) XP?

I DON'T want to clean install right over my current XP installation!!

Thanks a lot.

Aaah. Amazing what you find when you type into Google "To set up Windows XP
now press Enter."

According to this I will be given the option of selecting a primary
partition:

Please, if anyone thinks XP might automatically install over my current
installation, please tell me. But from that article, no.

Thanks.

No, infect XP will warn you that this will delete data and bla..bla..

You will be given the option to select if you want to overwrite existing
installation, or install to a new partition.

However, if your boot manager is not XP's boot manager, it'll probably
disapear...

Good luck
