Could you _please_ stick to one thread. Now you have one thread claming you have much data on an unbootable XP
(
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hreadid=294255) and this where things sounds less severe.
(Not to mention posting under multiple names)
To answer this questions:
If you followed opjoses advice and deleted all your partitions (and remembered to press "w" to save the new empty partition)
then no (easily visible) old partition will exist.
The way to install XP and MDK is :
* Start with an empty HD.
* Make a partition for XP and leave room for MDK.
* Install XP.
* Install MDK in the remaining empty space on the HD.
* Profit.
