Hi there,

Does the other partitions contain data?or you recently created them by norton ghost?if so then delete all the partition and create new partition from xp installation disk itself.

Thanks

Hi,

C drive is having a file system that is not supported by windows xp. If you are

sure that it doesn't contain any data then delete the C drive partition and

then select that unpartitioned space and press C to create it and press enter.

Now select that partition C and try to install the windows xp.

Hi.Even if u've installed Windows XP, find a CD of Windows 7.Boot on the CD but do not install Windows 7!!!!!!
1.Select safe mode but u may not see anything!But do it and wait for a while.
2.Restart your computer
3.Boot again on the CD and select Restore
If this doesn't work I will try to do it on my computer and write down any detail!
Hope this will help.It helped me on monday!
