britfin Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 I have an old Hardrive and i want to use it. I formated it and then used killdisk on it. after that i tried to install windows 98se through DOS. I got a message "cannot create a temporary directory. if you have HPFS or NTFS installed on your hard drive you will need to create an MS-DOS boot partition to setup windows". Can anyone tell me what it means and what to do?
