I wanted to reformat hard drive, and create partitions since my
original setup was all on c.

So I followed the steps. I boot up from the CD.
deleted the partition (c), then created 4 partitions, assigning 6GB to
the OS.

Windows XP home ed. went through the set up screen , the copying files
screen, then said it was rebooting.

Then when I got back to my screen where my partitions were set up, the
c had the NFTS file system there. I pressed enter to set up there, and
I got the message:

"CAUTION: Installing multiple operating systems on a single partition
is not recommended. "

What do I do?? If its already set up why doesn't it continue into the
windows set up? Am i supposed to choose to let it install on the other
partitions as well if i ONLY want the OS on the c drive? I'm stuck!
