Hi,

I'm trying to use a boot disk (http://www.mrhope.com/boot.htm) on my computer, using a old boot disk (DOS) to install xp. It seems the old dos version can't see the NTFS partition.

any ideas? i guess I have to create a FAT32 drive then for this to work right?

Why are you using a boot disk at all? If you put the CD-ROM in and make sure the BIOS knows to boot from it then it should run itself. Then you have the option of creating/deleting partitions in the setup. You can format to NTFS then also too.
