When I insert the Windows XP disc, I get a menu: -Install Windows XP -Learn more about the setup process -Install optional windows components -Perform additional tasks -Check System Compatibility I tried to do a search for "partition" & "Windows Repair" in the disc, but received no results. I am fairly new at doing the technical stuff, so maybe I'm not understanding some steps in between that you didn't mention that maybe you assumed I already know of. Can you tell me step by step? Please be patient with me. I'm learning, but slowly. Also, the hotfix I found is at the following website: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941248 Maybe that will help you understand the problem more. Thank you.
