    i did neither but it seems to think i did.

    when xp setup reaches the part where i have to choose where to put it, it finds the c: drive but also the F: (usb) drive. in the usb drive there is a partition where i think it wants me to install windows.

    Im trying to install an external drive too. But windows xp wont even recognise its there.

    Its connected via USB 2.0 (which mine supports) but I cant get it to recognise it at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks
