I'm by no means a computer whizz and was hoping somebody could help me.

I am currently trying to clean install xp pro onto a computer and am having a few problems.

I am loading up onto a new partition. What size should this be? Should it be as large as possible or as small as possible? I want to use all of my harddrive which is 160gb.

The problem I am having is when windows 'copies files' during the installation. This is taking an absolute age. I mean hours to load. It gets stuck on files to copy and these tend to be the same ones each time.

Can anybody help me?????
