      why did you reformat a 10 year old drive?

      Was your comp acting up or not booting/cycle booting?  If that's a 10 year old HD then I'd bet money a bad drive was your problem to begin with.  There's nothing an OS restore/install could do for you there.

        How was it formatted ? ?
        It sounds as if there are still remnants of Win95/98 on there...

            i deleted the partition on the XP setup process and format it by NTFS.

            then i start installing the OS....

            have i've done it  the wrong way?

            or should i do the delete the partion in FDISK mode? ;D

            It certainly won't hurt to try...
            Does this XP CD have shiny holograms all over it ? ?
            What ver. is it ?
