			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ey!</span> do not panic when your Windows XP cannot format your hard disk while you are formatting your computer. This article will help you to over come the problem.</p>
<p>At the time you would get the message similar to this</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;<span style="font-style: italic;">this partition cannot be deleted because the maximum disk space already used</span>&#8220;</p></blockquote>
<h3>How this problem would be occurred?</h3>
<p>Well the following line are what I have observed and it happen to me.</p>
<ul>
<li>You have several HDD partitions, specially one for windows and other for Linux.</li>
<li>When you install Linux you used all the space that left over (unpartitioned) from Windows partition. Basically you utilised all the disk space of your hard disk drive.</li>
<li>Now you need to format you Windows partition</li>
<li>You need to delete/recreate or accidentally delete the windows partition and recreated it again</li>
<li>Now you try to format it, so you can install a fresh Windows OS on it</li>
<li>Then, this is when you get this problem</li>
</ul>
<p>If you go ahead and delete other partitions just to accommodate this Windows formatting requirement, you will lost the data on those partition.</p>
<h3>How to overcome such problem?</h3>
<p>At the time it happen to me, I couldn&#8217;t possibly see any other way to work around it while I am in the &#8220;giant&#8221; blue screen. The only way to overcome this is to boot the computer from one of the Linux Live CD (I use Ubuntu) and format the partition that I need.<br />
Linux formating tools doesn&#8217;t demand for spare disk space or complain about maximum disk space has been used. More than that, it could format your disk partition to serveral different orders/formats such as Primary, Logical, FAT, NTSF, etc.</p>
<h3>Formatting the partition</h3>
<ol>
<li>Insert Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Desktop Edition (obtain <a href="http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download">a copy of it</a> if you don&#8217;t have one)</li>
<li>Restart PC to boot from CD</li>
<li>Press any key to boot your PC with Ubuntu</li>
<li>It will prompt language. Select you preferred language</li>
<li>Select &#8220;<span style="font-weight: bold;">Try Ubuntu without any change to your computer</span>&#8220;</li>
<li>When you get to Ubuntu Desktop go to</li>
<li><strong>System &gt; Administration &gt; Partition Editor</strong></li>
<li>Right click on Unknown partition</li>
<li>Select New</li>
<li>Set &#8220;<span style="font-weight: bold;">New Size (MB)</span>&#8221; to maximum as shown in that panel (top left)</li>
<li>Set &#8220;<span style="font-weight: bold;">Create as</span>&#8221; to Primary Partition</li>
<li>Set &#8220;<span style="font-weight: bold;">File System</span>&#8221; to NTFS if you use it for Windows XP or FAT 32 if you use it for Windows 98 or lower</li>
<li>Click <span style="font-weight: bold;">Add</span></li>
<li>Click <span style="font-weight: bold;">Apply</span></li>
<li>Say Yes if any confirmation message appear</li>
</ol>
<p>When you are done, just reboot your PC and go back to your Windows installation, when you get to the step where the list of all disk partitions, do not delete any of those. Just selected the one you need to install Windows and do a full format in the next step. Note that if you do a quick format you might possibly have problem installing windows on that partition</p>
<p>We have to Thanks to the Live CD :)</p>
