Help, really don't know what I am doing, I am trying to sort out my daughters Acer laptop for uni. I tried to copy and paste windows from C drive to D drive, It would not complete the action, so now trying...

you just can not shift windows like copy and past from drive c to drive d. if you try to delete system files of windows it prevent action what may create damage to run windows properly. Keep your windows in drive c and if you want to remove copied files of windows from d, just format it. before format copy other files without windows as everything will erase on drive d. to format just right click of drive d> select format from menu. then copy back necessary files. Note: windows is system software called operating system, you can not setup or use to copy like other files and folders. Number of system files are hidden there.

Format the drive with win XP or use a third-party HDD software like partition magic.

keep in mind that the choice of a correct file system is very important, "NTFS support volumes up to 16EB" while FAT12 is limited to 32 MB.

Keep me posted!

I stopped the formating of my hard drive and then try to reinstall windows xp, the set up stays at 27% at copying driver.cab. it been more then hour it running.

Hello,
You may have to try formatting your HDD again. If you have bad sectors on the hard drive, an incomplete format will not be able to flag back sectors so your windows install might be trying to copy to a bad location on the HDD. (speculation) your HDD may have no bad sectors, but this is one example of what could happen with an incomplete format.
You might also have a dirty install CD. take the CD out and look at it. If it is full of finger marks you might want to clean it and try again.

Try to format my hard drive it will not format. or at least i cannot find anything that has.. all it will do is copy over the old windows but i know there is a better way to clear everything off!

go into the control panel. click administrative tools. open computer management. click the tab called disk management. make sure the drive you want to format isnt the system drive. (it wont let you format while running) and format the drive from there. you can also choose the drive letter you want to format to. very useful if you are a neat person. (C: MAIN, D: documents, M: music, Z: dvd writer, V: virtual memory.........)
