I've already installed XP on my machine, but I was just wondering how you guys did it. On my system I have two HD's so I wasn't too worried about mucking up the installation, having just cloned the C drive.

I did the full install option and assumed that it would delete all my files on the C drive with the install. I was very surpried to see all my files still on C: drive along with my new XP. Is there a better way to go about this for a "cleaner" install?

I boot up from the CDROM and install to a clean, empty partition.
