  Try booting with disc. Installed from the disc (ORIGINAL!). But it's still the same and the disc merely REPAIR the windows. I need to delete the whole system now first. How do I do it?

  May I know how do I delete the XP partition? Cause I dont see the option of me being able to do so. And also pressing F10 dont seem to do anything.

  since u jus format i suggest u partition your drive..
  
  put windows stuff on one partition and those your stuff on other partition.. so that whenever there are prob u can jus format.. and no need reinstall or wat..

  F10 doesn't work on all computers. DIY computers usually press the Del button.
  
  Branded computers, just read the manual or the screen. It usually says press FX to enter Setup.
  
  Either at the top or at the bottom. Most are at the bottom, but I know Dell has theirs at the top right hand corner.
