Hi All,
I like to reformat all of my new laptops with a plain install of XP so I don't have all of the oem manufacturer software loaded.
for some reason, when I am booting from the CD to install windows xp, the xp install program says i do not have a hard drive installed so i can install the softare locally.
I noticed there is a protected D: partition that contains the system software for a reinstall, could this be the reason windows is not letting me install a fresh copy of XP?
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you
