Gunlok 0 Posted September 11, 2006 I bought OEM XP pro to install over W2K. Somehow I've ended up with both OS on the drives. Maybe when it gave me an option to install over the existing OS (option L), I missed it. I'm not sure. W2K doesn' respond, and I can't get to any options that will allow me to reformat the drive and start over. Even when I try a new install of Xp, the option to delete Partition C will say "unable to perform this function due to needed files being present'. How do I wipe this drive clean and start over??

peterh 1 Posted September 11, 2006 Get a Win 98 boot disk and run FDISK and delete the Non-Dos Partitions or get hold of DELPART tool to remove partitions or something like Partition Magic to remove partitions. Share this post Link to post
Jerry Atrik 0 Posted September 11, 2006 it sounds like you tried to install XP after it was already booted. boot from the cd rom Share this post Link to post
