Boot the XP CD and delete existing partition(s) and create new one(s). Then format using NTFS.
Those tools are built-in to the XP installer.

try using FAT32 instead of NTFS, or vice-versa, ive had problems like that with my old computers hard drive, but i always end up converting to NTFS after its finished installing.Originally posted by DarkClown12@15 March 2004 - 22:40

try installing again using the oposite file system you used last time (unless u already tried both) and if you still get the error you have to tell us what it says.Originally posted by DarkClown12@15 March 2004 - 23:28

Try using a win98 start up disk first. Run fdisk. Then reboot with winxp cd and you should be set to start formatting.
