partition

[britfin]

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?

Did you format the drive in XP ?

I would....

Boot to DOS from a floppy

Run FDISK

1- delete all partitions.

2- create a new FAT32 partition

3- Reboot and boot from my Win98 CD

If you need more details let me know.
