I'm using gparted on ubuntu via the live cd (11.10) to organize the partition to setup windows xp (sp3 (latest)) and im unsure of A: how to use gparted properly, and B: what settings to use for the partition to get it identifiable for the windows xp installation (to my understanding its hard to windows to see the hard drive after having a linux distro installed on it.
My ultimate goal is to use the WHOLE partition for windows, and erasing EVERYTHING on the drive. i understand i need to make the new partition an NTSF file system, but what about the other settings?

Just click on the partition, and do only one task at once.
No special settings, just remember to set the ntfs drive boot flag after it is created.
