    If you had GRUB then you must have had another OS installed. XP likes to be on the C:. I assume since you're trying to now format C: that you recovered your data. I would wipe the whole physical drive making sure it was one big partition. Install XP on the C: then install the other OS after XP is up and running. If it's Linux distro most will do the partitioning for you.
