What did you format your hard drive with? Not a '98 bootdisk I hope. Sys C: is for '95/'98 and is not an XP command. Whether you have a full version of XP or an upgrade version you should be able to boot directly to the XP CD and do ALL of the partition deletions re-making of new partitions and formatting FROM the XP CD. It would help to know if your XP CD has SP1 or SP2 and what sort of hardware your computer has, specifically, processor, RAM and drive size. Or you could make an I386 folder on the hard drive and copy the entire contents of the i386 folder on the CD to it and then run winnt.exe If you are having trouble with the XP CD try gently washing and drying it and try again. After it has been washed and dried copying can also help and you should use data verification. When you know that your CD is good and if it does not already have a service pack level then you should use AUTOSTREAMER 1·0 to slipstream your XP CD and produce a new up-to-date one. These two bootdisks can be handy...
