|I think I am having the problem that is described in the
| Knowledge Base Article 283421 "Error message about
| Partition appears when you install windows XP to a dynamic
| volume".
|

|
| I don't understand how to resolve it because I am not
| really familiar with the terms dynamic, basic disks or
| volumes so the resolutions don't really make sense to me.
|
| It's a dell optiplex computer with one 10GB hard drive and
| Everytime I delete the partions to create a new partion to
| install XP, when it tries to format the hard drive this
| error message shows up "Windows XP cannot reconize the
| partition you selected. The disk may be corrupted or
| damaged" and does not let me install XP, but then I can
| reinstall Windows 2000 no problem.
|
| Any solutions or tips how to resolve this would be a big
| help.
