350402 2005-05-01 04:35:00 pop in the winxp disk, and format the partitions Prescott (11)
350403 2005-05-01 05:27:00 hi again,
It won't let me partition!

i get an option to insall on the c drive,i press enter and it say,this drive already has an os we do not recomend 2 os on 1 drive.
a guy told me to erase the whole drive with a dos floppy then i can install windows clean.
you know anything about dos floppy,prescott?

ps if anybody knows any links about this,please post here!!

350404 2005-05-01 16:01:00 Y dont u try first delete the partition then recreate it, this will loose everything.

Also, Microsoft has a language pack cd, which allows you to install other languages into your current os to become multiple language which you can change in control panel. Cant remember where you can get it, mayb u can do a search in the microsoft website :D
