Someone please help
Thanks

How far do you get in the process before this error comes up? Did you actually start the format when this occurs? Please give us as much details in step by step as possible. Thanks

Maybe you should try reinstalling Win2k first to fix any corruption, then you might be able to install XP. The other option is to reformat the drive and load XP on it; Windows doesn't have to already be installed to perform an upgrade. It will just ask you for a Windows CD before completing the install.
