Reinstalling Windows XP

Bodhisopha · 2010-01-17 21:55:11

I followed the info in the User Manual but my computer basically says there is trouble with space and i already have XP on my hard drive. How do i wipe XP from my computer so that i may reinstall it completely? Thanks.

When you boot into the install setup, you need to format the partition in order to erase the previous version of XP. It's not always 100% intuitive if you haven't done this before. Try googling the process and have a look at some screenshots instead of just relying on the manual.
