Hi
I have built a new PC putting an 80gig HDD in which is used but known
tobe working fine (not very old). During installation od XP I chose
to delete to existing partion, then create a new one, then format
that drive (full, not quick format).
During the first restart on the installation of XP a note popped up
telling me there is already a folder named \Windows do I want to
over-write it - Isaid yes, but now it's running I am being asked
which o/s I want to boot - there is only the one!!!!
Where is it seeing another o/s on a ntfs formatted disk of just one
partition?

It doesn't sound like the partition actually got deleted. Check out
