Hello! I am facing some problems with my Windows XP Professional operating system with SP2 installed, so, I have decided to reinstall it. But, I need help because I have large hard drive. I have Seagate 160 GB hard drive. I have never before reinstalled operating system, but I have heard that errors occurred with large hard drives.

Hello! First of all, you have probably heard that large hard drives have difficulties to be seen properly (in full capacity) in BIOS. Second of all, your hard drive is not large at all (there are larger hard drives, e.g. 300 GB even 1 TB). Anyway, if you have never before reinstalled system, boot XP installation disc and just follow installation wizard and you cannot miss.
