Probably a problem with your hard disk. If it were me I would burn a GParted iso, boot the 'puter with it, delete all partitions on the disk and create 1 NTFS partition. Then install XP.

It' a partition editor. Yes, it is an ISO that you download and burn to a CD. Then boot from it, delete partitions, create an NTFS partition and live happily ever after.

Don't use a re-writable cd or dvd. They don't work well for iso images.
