howdy everyone, the windows XP pro trial version has ended and now i need to install XP home onto my laptop but how in the world do i format it? i know that xp home is bootable but how can i format it? I booted with the xp home cd until i got to the part where it says that i am installing windows ontop of another operating system whould you like to intall? or would you like to delete the selected partition? and so on. I don't know what to do. I checked the product manual and it doesnt have anything on reformating! :-( BTW my laptop is a toshiba Pro M10 model.

Thanks in advance for your help,
Nico
