Jump to PostI would always use NTFS because of the 2GB addressing restriction on FAT.
So:
1/
FDISK the drive to a single volume NTFS 20GB2/
Format the disk appropriately3/
Reinstall XP from the CD4/
Then report problems in detail
Jump to PostI'm not clear from your words what you mean. Did you do the FDISK to NTFS and Format the 20GB drive? Yes/No?
