I had installed Xp-64 on my HD and now want to install Xp Pro-32.

My problem is that my drive isn't being reported correctly in Xp Pro setup.

I have reformatted HD using Xp-64 setup utility and restarted computer. Then I pop in my Xp Pro CD and try to partition and format is says my HD is only 120Gb. This isn't a hardware prob as the drive is new and reported 200Gb before.

Is there are utility to delete the Xp-64 formated info on my drive?
 
You need to slipstream at least SP1 (I would recommend SP2) onto your 32-bit XP setup CD in order for it to recognize the full capacity of your drive. Prior to SP1, XP only recognized drives up to 137 GB.
