Im trying to reinstall windows, I am currently in mid setup (all drivers have just loaded) I chose the option to reinstall windows xp fresh and it came up with a screen showing me this...
'The following list shows the existing partitions and unpartitioned space on this computer.
Use the up and down arrow keys to select an item in the list.
-To set up windows xp on the selected item, press enter
-To create a partitioned space in the uparticioned space press c
- to delete the selected partition press d
111757 MB Disk 0 at Id 0 on bus 0 on atapi [MBR]
C: Partition1 (GF03G-4) [FAT32] 111757 MB (74082 MB free)'
If I press enter it just warns me about installing an OS on the same partition, so, I tried to delete the partion. It says I cant because the partion contains temporary setup files that are required to complete the installation.
So, I tried to create a new partition in the upartitioned space, I pressed 'c' and nothing happened! I have tried rebooting several times.
I also tried the recovery console. I told the computer to format 'c:' - It says 'warning data erased if selected...etc' I press 'y'. Then there is a pause, and a fresh command line comes up ready for me to input the next command. No formatting appears to have taken place.
I also tried 'diskpart' to delete/create new partion- same problem as above arises.
Any ideas or suggestions!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please help meeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!
ps im really sorry for the huge post
