Can't delete Partition on ReInstall of XP Sunday, January 18, 2004 at 9:27 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Rishu (1 messages posted) hello, i tried reinstalling windows xp and through the Windows XP CD, i clicked 'New Installation of XP' After it did some stuff, my computer restarted and it automatically went to Windows XP CD with the blue background and white font. I got up to the point that it then asked me if i wanted to delete my current partition. I clicked 'D' to delete it, however it said "this drive contains critical files for windows installation" or somethign liek that. What should I do? Maybe i should just directly boot from the CD withought trying to initiate something from Windows XP cd? Thank you for your help!
