I am going to try some more things now with my XP CD to see if
partitioning during a new installation would wipe my drive.

If you do not hear from me for a while, you'll know it did not work. :-/

Success at last!!!

I don't know if the earlier reinstall of XP did it, or the reorganizing
of the boot order, or I just got lucky this time.
In any case, when Win XP under new install tried to boot from its CD,
is succeeded :-)

Deleted all partitions.
Did full format.
Now will spend next few days reinstalling all my software.

Thanks all of you for your help in this.
