Thanks, Jack...The Wizzer also suggested this option, so I will take the plunge with this over the weekend...
Do you have to FDISK after using this, or just throw the XP cd after its finished doing its "thing"?

And Thanks again to War, and everyone else who has responded to my question!!
What a bunch of talented, knowledgeable folks we have here!!

No you don't have to fdisk it, just stick in your xp cd and create/format (for fat32 or ntfs) a new partition using it. Then continue with the setup. ( I just did a llf overnight/this morning so that is how i know).
