look in windows explorer and what is the the drive letter, right click my computer and choose manage, then go to disk management. and loook at the partitions, what is the status of the disk. and is the disk labeled as C: Healthy(system) are then any other partition
before you install XP you MUST partition the drive, UNLESS you want to wipe Vista from the disk.
