If your goal is a Clean Installation of Windows XP:
http://www3.telus.net/dandemar/cleanxp.htm
This will take care of formatting and partitioning.

If your operating system came with the computer, follow the manual and/or
contact the manufacturer for reinstallation details.
All manufacturers do it a little differently but typically start by booting
to the first recovery CD.

If you are getting that message, you are not following the instructions for
a Clean Installation.
Read the instructions again...closer.
