I am having the same problem. I bought a new copy of
Windows XP Home. How do I start a new install when I
can't get beyond the Windows NT login screen?
To do a clean install boot the Windows XP install CD-Rom. When you get to
the point, delete the existing NTFS and or other partitions found. After you
delete the partition(s) abort the install, then again restart the pc booting
the CD-Rom to avoid unexpected drive letter assignments with your new
install.
