You need to re-partition the drive as 250GB, then format it.

If you still want to retain the cloned 80gb partition, you should be able to use a third party partitioning program, to access and partition the unallocated space on the new drive.

Then simply boot of the XP CD, then when asked are where you want to in stall delete all partitions and format fresh.
Backup first if you need to, all data will be wiped. |
