    You had a little slip. You mentioned you set the hard drive space for 2.5Gb but you just had only 2.0Gb on the screen. Thank you for all your work and videos

    Thanks a lot sir. I already have win xp but i am reinstalling win xp service package 2. When i go to install it, the screen says that I already have partition space that is used. when i go to delete it, the screen says that it is unable to delete it but i want to start off on a clean slate. How can i delete that partition space?

    Thanks a lot sir. I already have win xp but i am reinstalling win xp service package 2. When i go to install it, the screen says that I already have partition space that is used. when i go to delete it, the screen says that it is unable to delete it but i want to start off on a clean slate. Now when i start my system it says do you want to start up with XP or with the back up. How do I delete that partition space with the information on it?
    Thank you sir..

      Arun – Although those CPU scheduling topics are interesting, they’re outside the scope of the CompTIA A+ certification exam. If they add them to the certification, I’ll be glad to create new video!
