make it your primary drive, then install xp again from boot to do this: insert the xp installation disc and turn off pc,then when the computer is booting up(before xp loads) press f8. you will get a list of what you want to do, choose boot from cd then when you get options to install xp, make sure you select format hd option. then once it has formatted the hd, turn off the pc at the plug before it start to install xp. and voila, there you go.
