I have a primary master harddrive with 2 portitions where I have win2000
installed on C and everything else on D. I want to install XP Pro to a
primary slave harddrive which has been recently reformatted from within
windows 2000 using the NTFS file system. Logged on to Win2000, I put the XP
CD choose the option to install windows XP, selecting the advanced option
asking to let me specify the partition where XP will be installed and
letting the system to reboot and start the actual installation. Everything
goes well up to the point where it would ask me to select the partition. I
select the second harddrive and then it tells me that windows XP needs to
write certain file to the primary master harddrive and it's asking to create
a partition in that drive. When I hit enter to go to the previous screen
and I select the said harddrive to create the partition the only option,
besides quitting the installation, is to delete that partition in order to
then create the partition that XP needs to write the needed files. At that
point I have no clue as to what to do next other than quitting the
installation, since its obvious that I don't want to delete any partition on
the primary master harddrive.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
