Use a LiveCD or floppy img OS to repartition your hdd. [ I use tomsrtbt ]. Make sure that the first Primary system is labeled as the filesystem you require for WinXP. I use fdisk only as each OS will format as you direct or allow. Don't forget to 'write' the partition table before you exit. Now when you try to install WinXP it will prompt you for hdd formatting ~ be sure to select only the first partition if WinXP sees others, and we'll get back to you once you are done.
