Hi - can someone help please.......

I had XP Pro installed on my C:\ drive, and I replaced it with RC1 of Vitsa, doing a clean install.

I've been given a formatted hard disk, connected up as my D:\ drive, and I'd like to reinstall XP Pro onto it, and be able to choose which OS I boot into.

However, when I insert the XP installation disk, I get the initial options menu, but when I select 'Install XP Professional', nothing at all happens.

If I swap the hard drives around, so that the PC boots into the new formatted drive, I get a message when booting up saying 'OS not found', and can get no further. This happens whether or not I boot up with the XP Installation disc in the drive.

i went to install vista ultimate from cd in windows, but when it asks me which drive i want to install on, it wont allow itself to be installed on the one drive i want it on. The drive i want it installed on is my Maxtor 300GB IDE drive. There is nothing wrong with the drive that i know of, because i had it as a secondary storage drive. now it says in a caution box when i have the drive selected...:
