Answer #3
unless you have data you want to save on your hard drive the best way to install is to start clean
deleting the partition & recreating it before install with the XP disk when it asks where you want to install
google “clean install XP”, there’s lots of site with info and find 1 that shows you how

When you have deleted the partition you need to go back and create a new partition, here you can configure the size of the partition you want to install the OS onto. Once you create the new partition click on full format NTFS and let it go on from there.
