change windowsXP setup directory

You should not attempt to install Windows XP in the same partition
that Windows 2000 is installed on. You need to install Windows XP
in its own partition.

Hey Carey,
Thanks for your reply!
You misunderstood me...
I want to install Windows XP Proffesional on a formatted computer (no other
OS installed).
I want the install dir to be: "C:\WinNT" and not like the default location:
"C:\Windows".
Thanks ahead
