    Oops.
    If you've got an xp disc which can install from scratch I'd advise to fdisk, repartition, format (can only format in fat32 with fdisk, but you can convert to NTFS later) then install xp http://fdisk.radified.com/
    convert to NTFS http://www.simplyguides.net/guides/convert_fs_ntfs/convert_fs_ntfs.shtml
