You can probably reuse the partition you already created then just tell it to reformat. You didn't screw anything up unless XP or the BIOS can no longer see the HDD.

You will be fine by going through the XP installation again , although I wouldn't use the same partition. It might try to repair the corrupted files on the partition but you'd be better off reformatting it. If you plan on using the Media Direct feature you'll want to partition the drive with that first otherwise it will not work. Good luck :beer:

Recently I spilled a can of Sprite in my new $1000 Dell Inspiron E1505. After a few tries to reboot, the system said "Hardware failure, see Vendor. Somehow MediaDirect was able to get it to boot back up. True story!.
