I'm installing XP home on a fresh hard drive.... in MSDos
i would presume. I keep getting the format drive option,
how do i get past this and actually install the operating
system!?! everything else seems to be fine, it just keeps
reformatting, booting up, doing the necessary checks and
stuff and reformatting again... im using NTFS if this
helps.
