So when I boot from my Window XP disc, after the setup, will it ask me what drive I want it to install to? I want it too install to my new 1TB drive.
of course it will...
make sure you have it format the drive before you install

I'm pretty sure the installer formats the drive before install.
Plug in your drive, put in cd, boot, press key when asked, wait for setup to load, press f3 to install (Or whatever key it was) then it will ask you on what partition to install, allowing you to create new partitions.
I'm not sure if it works for USB drives tho.
Well obviously I had formatted my new drive -.-. It just's that I had run the setup and it hadn't asked me where I wanted to install it, and I don't want to lose programs etc for obvious reasons so I canceled it.

So how do i install Windows on a new system? Do i have to first format the drive in another computer?
