Can’t see my main partition when I install Windows XP

by bertuseng . Updated 18 years, 1 month ago

Hi, wonder who can help me because I don’t know what to do anymore.

I want to clean install windows xp on my PC, cos its running so slow these days and has millions of unnecessary programs on it that I cant remove. Probably also some virus etc.

I have an old Hardrive F: (called old PC), then my new Hard drive is partitioned into my system drive C: and my data storage drive, D:

Now the problem:
When I run windows setup disc, it comes to where I must delete or add partitions to install xp on, but I can only see 2 partitions, the one is my old pc (Strangely called C:) and one more small device 512 mb big called F: (this can be my cameras SD card) I cant see my real C: drive where I want to install my windows on, also cant see my real D: which I dont want erased.

What is wrong and why cant the setup see these partitions?

Thanks a lot.
