I dont want to erase!!!

[fachy123]

Okay so i have a 160gb maxtor sata drive installed and it had a lot of my old stuff like games documents and whatnot on seperate partitions. a few weeks ago my computer get messed up and now i have it up and running. The problem is that i want to make the sata drive the new boot drive but when using maxblast 3 it forces me to erase my data in all four partitions. I dont want to lose my data in three of the partitions because they are important and the other partiton i want to install windows xp. So is there any way to not format the three partitons with data in it and format one partition to boot up windows xp? Thanks any help is appreciated.

Run the XP installation, during that you will get the chance to choose which partition to install to and the choice to format it.
