If I didn't have this stupid restore disk and had an actual retail version of XP, I wouldn't be having this problem. It should be illegal to sell a computer advertising it as coming with an OS, and then disabling parts of the OS (like being able to do a clean install and partition your drive if the OS allows this).

I | tried many time to resolve the errors then resorted to booting | to the | drive and using XP partion utility to adjust the drive as I | needed. Once | partioned I aborted the installation of XP.
