Hi Experts,
I have a problem installing XP Pro SP3 on a partition on my drive to get triple boot with w7 and ubuntu.
My drive has four partitions:

I am trying to install on the 93 Gb partition. It is currently set to logical drive type. I am using an IDE DVD Drive with an adapter to Sata as I dont have a sata dvdrom drive. I have storage configured as sata and the onboard jmicron controller cofigured to Sata. The installer cd contains sata drivers.
When I get to the choice of drives in the installer menu, I go to choose the 93 GB partition, drive D in the menu, but it comes back with an error message saying there's not enough room on C:. It wont let me choose D drive to install.

I had previously managed to get the 1st stage of the xp complete on that partition, but then when I came to boot it again from the there was no menu item for xp in the windows boot manager menu. So, I used BCD to point to that partition and made an entry but it returned a message of a 'hardware or other error' and could boot. So I formatted it and tried to install again and now Im having this new problem of not being able to select the partition.
One thing Im not sure of is whether I have to 'write the MBR' again in the BCD 'deployment' menu or do I just need to add the XP boot menu item and save.
Any help with this really appreciated. Ive been stuck on it for days.
Thanks.
