Could any one please help.

I have done a Google, but i have not found the answer. I am trying to install Windows XP Pro on to a hard drive that has windows already on it.

When i go to format the drive there are 2 partitions showing One is 8MB the other is the remaining hardrive space, i have tried to delete the smaller partition (8MB) but when i press the D to delete nothing happens. I have tried to install Windows on to the 8MB patition but i get the message that the partition is not big enough.

Could any one tell me what the 8MB partition could be, and how can i delete it.

Thanks in advance.
