I needed to remove Vista from a system and put XP on instead. I used Seagate utilities to LLF (0 fill) the hard drive. When I put the XP (NEW) OS disk SP3 and let it boot up to start, it gets through looking for the the stuff it may need to load, but as soon as it says "Starting to install Windows" it goes to the "A problem was dected......" blue screen. Well, it's not/not let me run fdisk ergo, there's no partition, or format. Had worked on smaller drives, but was wondering if there is some sort of limit for XP and how to get around it. I've seem something about slipstreming, but this has only dealt with already running systems.
