    My hard drive space is 37.2 GB, probably 40 originally

    maybe I can install it with a partition? and then delete the partition?.. idk

    Right now I have one windows xp partition
    so only xp is on the drive?

    Do you want to do a clean install or upgrade? clean is better.

    Are you for certain the 32 bit DVD is a good burn? will it boot when inserted while running XP ?
