Hey guys,
I tried to format my HDD during installation proces and there was no option to perform this task. It just gave me the option to install Win XP on that drive in the same folder or to install it in the other one (I did it anyway, so now I just have 4 Gb of free space, instead of 30).
Any help? I'm desperate here...

How to Install Windows XP
I'm guessing here but assume you didn't delete the partitions first for whatever reasion.

I didn't. I just wanted to install a fresh copy of Win XP, and it was all good untill the moment I wanted to format C partition. There was no option to format that drive - that's the problem.

Boot from MiniTool Partition Wizard Bootable and make/delete/format the partition(s) at wish.
After that you can reinstall Windows XP where you want.
