First back up all your data. Then download Gparted (http://gparted.sourceforge.net/) and burn it to a blank cd. Once it has been burnt, check that your data has been backed up correctly and then insert the cd and restart the computer. Boot from the cd. You may need to edit the bios settings to boot from the cd before the hard drive. Follow the on screen prompts to start Gparted. You will eventually get to a graphical desktop were you can start the Gparted program. Choose to delete the existing partition and then create a new one to the full size of the disk. This partition should be in the windows XP type (I think it's FAT32 but I could be wrong). Press apply when you are finished and then wait for it to partition your disk. Once that is done restart your computer with the windows XP disk.

For anymore information just search google... it should have a lot of tutorials and suchlike.

Can you help with this problem?
