install windows xp - drive c is corrupted

[PerLovdinger]

Hi there,

I'm having trouble installing windows xp (upgrade version)
From a win98 startup diskett I run fdisk and created the following
partions:
C: FAT32 pri dos 5005
D: ext dos 14567

Then I installed win98 on drive c: everything is fine.
- Then I start installing windows xp with "new installation".
- everything fine in the beginning
- get the partion-list
- "to setup partion select item below."
- choosed c:
- "you choose to install on a partion that contains other operating system,press c to confirm"
- choosed c
- "do you want to leave file system intact ?"
- Yes
- "confirm to delete windows"
- Yes
- "Setup has determined that drive c is corrupted and cannot be repaired. setup cannot continue..."
- had to exit setup

- then I tried to install as an "upgrade" instead of "new installation"
- same thing happens

any ideas ?

thanks in advance
Per

Try running FDISK /MBR
Other than that, you can have setup create the partitions instead of using FDISK.
