Off-Topic, XP Reinstall

[Tom McKim]

I ran into this before...

It assumed you wanted to install a second operating
system and not Replace the OS.

I would redo the install, make sure that you wipe
everything out.

Before that though on the Original installation make
sure you have noted every Driver that you are
currently using.  Go to the Hardware manufactures and
make sure you have every single Driver.
