I don't know what kind of machine you have or if the recovery CD is the same as the
XP installation CD. I guess not but maybe it was unclear what to partition you
were installing. If you have SCSI and IDE drives different programs may label them
with different names. I know with the XP install CD I used "clarified" things to
me by noting the sizes of the disks and partitions. If you have XP running on D:
and you want to erase the system on C: you must keep the boot files at the root (C:\*.*).
If you have XP running on C: I think the situation is more complicated. To check,
open Administative Tools in the Control Panel, open Computer Management, open Disk
Management under Sorage, and see which partition label contains the "System" files.
It'll say "System" after the word "Healthy" for one of the partitions.
