</div></div>I used the drive above. Before installing XP, I performed the following<br>
steps:<br>
<br>
1) Booted a USB thumb drive containing SystemRescueCD<br>
2) Partitioned with plain old "fdisk" to achieve the following:<br>
<br>
> fdisk -l /dev/sda<br>
><br>
> Disk /dev/sda: 2000.4 GB, 2000398934016 bytes<br>
> 81 heads, 63 sectors/track, 765633 cylinders, total 3907029168 sectors<br>
> Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes<br>
> Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes<br>
> I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes<br>
> Disk identifier: 0x8f248134<br>
><br>
> Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System<br>
> /dev/sda1 * 2048 3907029167 1953513560 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT<br>
<br>
3) Formatted the partition with "mkfs.ntfs -Q -L WinXP2048 /dev/sda"<br>
4) Captured the above fdisk output to the thumb drive.<br>
5) Powered off to remove the thumb drive and set up my USB CD drive.<br>
6) Installed Windows XP OEM SP3 from an original CD, no extra drivers<br>
supplied.<br>
7) When prompted, instructed the Windows installer to use the existing<br>
partition, and to not re-format it.<br>

<br>
</div>Windows did not re-partition or re-format. Post install and screen<br>
capture, I repeated the "fdisk -l":<br>

Unchanged.<br>
