Thanks for your reply Emile, but I believe I did not express correctly my problem. I cannot install winxp pro because the program finds ONLY 478MB of un-partitioned space on the hard drive and nothing else. No mention at all about partitioned/usable space besides that 478MB. I MUST be doing something wrong!
