I am trying to switch from XP to Media Center but am having trouble.
I selected new install and when I try to Delete the old os it says that the partition contains temporary files that are needed for the installation process.
I read in another forum about someone having the same trouble, and they said not to use a usb keyboard, I tried doing that, but it still did not help.
What do you suggest.. Thanks for the help.

just put the windows cd in the cd drive and turn on the computer. boot from the windows cd. from there on it gets pretty self explanitary. youll be given the option to format during the setup
