    Can't install Windows XP

    Hi guys,

    I'm a linux newbie and have a problem with my hard-drive posibilly.I was using Mandrake 10.1 and Win XP within the same hd,they worked just fine;but then i decided to switch to SuSE 9.1,trying to do this something went wrong and i formatted entire hd.
    But after that I cannot install XP even if the entire 40 GB of my disk is emty,I get the message "no operating system" after checking hardware process then installation hangs.
    Pls help!!!


    Thanks in advance...
