My XP Home installation had a lot of miles on it, so I decided to Killdisk it, and start fresh. I wrote the zeros, and started the XP install. When it got to the partitioning, I set the size and NTFS, and it started the format, but quickly stopped. I don't remember the exact message, but it said it couldn't format. I've since ran the Western Digital setup program, but it still won't load XP. I've tried partitioning in FDISK. I've also formatted C: using a WIN98 start disk. The message I'm getting during XP setup is :
An error occured while setup was updating partition information on:
131070 MB Disk 0 at ID 0 on Bus 0 on ATPI [MBR}
Setup cannot continue. To quit Setup Press F3
The Drive is a Western Digital 160 gb drive, and the version of XP that I'm loading does not have SP1 or 2.
I sure could use some help.
Thanks,
Matt
