I tried to do a fresh install of windows XP pro yesterday, but instead of formatting the partition I wanted to put it on, it simply did a second install, so now I have 2 installations.
I am trying to do it another time, hoping I will be given the option to format the C: drive, which it didn't let me do after the faulty install because the installation files were on there. Running it from CD now, but i have to start it up from the old installation since for some reason I cannot get into my bios anymore either to adjust the startup settings. This is fun...I am starting to get fed up with windows actually.
I have 3 partitions, i am contemplating erasing another one and installing windows there and then formatting the former C partition and getting it installed on there again afterwards, however i fear that i will get bullshit from the pc again since i'm going to try and wipe out an operating system, and that of course, windows will not allow since i'm stupid and windows knows what is best for me, right?
And here we go again, i've told the program to run the installation exclusively from the disk, but there's old installation files from the other install it sees, hence: i cannot format it because of those files, while I don't even need them. Fuck windows!
HELP
