Howdy:

It's 'fdisk" and it means your hard-drive has not yet been partitioned or formatted.. You have to do that BEFORE you can install anything !!

PHDISK is a utility that allows portable devices to use a SAVE TO DISK feature. When You close the lid of your laptop the data is written to drive c: in a hidden .Bin file

if there is a red screen that genrally means that the has been no hard drive space allocated to the SAVE TO DISK feature enabled in your BIOS.

Running PHDISK /create /file should resolve this
