I would have to agree with DoG, That is a damn fine picture. I have always found that when you put in you xp cd there are a few things that need to be checked.
first make sure that you have saved all the important files off your harddrive before installing a new os. make sure you have all your computers drivers on cd befor formatting.
Make sure your computers first boot option is cd. You can change that in the bios.
insert your xp cd and restart your computer, the computer should run through a series of options and then pop up with some options, repair an installation, install
I ususally delete the partition that I am going to install on, and then allow the xp cd to format the new partion or the entire drive. You can always partion the drive after you get xp installed. I would stick with NTFS. anyways hope this isn't too confusing and hope it helps.
