<b>Thank you Brian and David. I used the Ubuntu Live CD, and went into live mode, then I brought up the partition editor. Then, I was able to format most of the drive in NTFS, but two small partitions wouldn't mount. I tried to re-install with the recovery discs and it wouldn't work.<br>
<br>Then, I created a Gparted Live CD, and then I was able to mount all the partitions. I formatted the whole drive with NTFS.<br><br>I didn't back up the MBR, like David instructed. How do you do that? I already have a Windows XP OEM install CD.. I keep getting the error message "No Active Partition."<br>
<br>I am trying to install Windows Vista.<br></b>
