Toshiba Satellite error 10053A0000 when re installing windows xp home on an existing windows 7

0

I had installed windows 7 for testing. Now i want to re-install windows xp home original. I am using the toshiba installation(recovery) disk. The installation process asked a few questions. I selected the option to retain other partitions and to delete only c drive. In the next step i got this error.

So, what should i do to retain my files in d drive and only allow the installation to delete c drive?

It would seem that is not possible with the recovery disk. You could remove the drive and connect it to a working system either directly or in an external enclosure and copy the data from the D Partition. Once the recovery is complete, you can copy the data back to the laptop as needed .
