I have a 30 gig hard drive that is running win 98. I would like to wipe it clean and put XP on it. I have booted the PC up with the XP disk in it and begun to install XP but then I got confused and stopped. So I need some help.
When installing I got to a screen that said something like...
Unpartitioned 7000MB
Unpartitioned 1000MB
C: Partioned 20000MB
(now I'm quite sure that when the hard drive was first installed with win98, the PC couldn't handle the full 30 gig so the tech partitioned it to a smaller amount of GB. I want to format and load XP so that I get rid of all the partitions and get the full 30 gig)..... I'm well out of my depth here so I hope you understand what I mean.
Also, at this point of installation, it was asking something about FAT 32/ NTSC formatting, I think. I didn't understand this so I just quit out of the installation.
So could someone give me step by step instructions to...
Formatting the HD so there are no partitions and
Loading XP.
Thanks for any help, this site and you guys are great,
Wayne.
