Try to download a third party file system converter - like Partition Magic. Change your HD into NTFS, this won't whipe out your HD...then try installing XP. Just an idea. :)

If his idea about the NFTS thing doesn't work then i suggest wiping down your hard drive completely. I have a boot disk that will make your hard drive virgin again. If this is in need e-mail me and i will send it to you. oprimal@hotmail.com
