Please help... I am in need of assistance to install XP after formatting
with Lubuntu Gparted



microsoft.public.windowsxp.general

From Lubuntu:

sudo apt install disktype
disktype /dev/sda | tee out.txt

Then present the contents of "out.txt" text
strings, in your posting to microsoft.public.windowsxp.general
for suggestions.

What that does, is scan the disk for information,
and tell us what partitions you might or might not
have created.
