Download this burnable ISO boot disk,
http://www.geocities.com/sheppola/bootd.zip
It contains aefdisk.
Boot to CD.
from the A prompt issue the command
aefdisk \delall
This will clear the drive.
Then type fdisk and make your required partition/s but say,"Yes" to
enable large disk supoport.Then format and install.
Readme included.
Then clean up as no install of windows is clean,
