Long time ago when I used Win XP dualboot with openSUSE (always got Invalid partition table when reinstall Win XP again) this issue always happened to me with openSUSE but not Win XP with other Linux distro I think I should reformat again entire hard drive to fix it just like years ago
Partitions are what one formats, not entire hard drives. To start over, one repartitions, then formats the new partitions, or lets the OS installer format the partition, or lets the OS installer both create the partitions, then format them. Here, partitioning is always done before starting any OS installer. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
