change your comp. boot sequence to boot from cd then when it loads XP comes up with diffrent options to install. You choose the format hrd drive then install.

ahh. then thats different. if u boot from ur os cd (presuming its windows), u can format the drive(partition) hopefully wen its done that DONT choose to install the os otherwise ull have to a version of windows on 2 hdds :|

if u put the os cd in ur drive, then restart ur pc, boot from the cd and choose to install windows, choose the 4gb drvie. it will then ask u to format. format it but quit the setup as soon as it has finished. the cd shud allow u to confirm after the formatting and before the installation of windows

You have Windows installed on both?
In that case which hard drive has the version of Windows you always use on?
Is C:\ the 4gb one or the 210gb one?

You should change the boot sequence in the BIOS to the other HDD, load up windows and format the disc.
