I actually do quite well with computers and have formatted my laptop with XP plenty of times, but I have an older Dell Inspiron 4000 with Windows ME and I want to reformat it. I did the preinstalation for XP and ran the setup, but when it came to the point where I needed to create a new partition, I cannot delete the old one because it says it has setup files on that partition that are required and the unpartitioned space is far too small for an OS. I can’t use a boot disk because this computer has no floppy disk drive, and I couldn’t get it to boot from the XP disk until after i copied some of the setup files. Im in kindof a picke. someone PLEASE help me out it would be greatly appreciated. thank you
