Hello, I am trying to reinstall my Windows XP Professional but when I try to reinstall it, it tells me that my Windows XP Installation is damaged, and it askes to see if I want to repair it or not? Should I just continue without repairing? Or should I let windows try to repair it? Remember I just want a clean copy of Windows XP Professional on my computer. What should I do?

If you want a fresh install skip past to the full install. If you do so you'll need to install drivers and stuff too so make sure you have all those.

If doing fresh i would delete, then add a new one, format and install. That guarantees all data is erased prior to installing.
