Windows XP will not setup

[David T]

Hello
When I attempt to run setup (from E:i386\winnt.exe), this
message appears: "WinXP requires a hard drive volume with
at least 383 megabytes of free disk space... the drive
must be on a permanently attached local hard disk
supported by Windows XP, and must not be a compressed
drive. Setup was unable to locate such a drive with the
required amount of free space. setup cannot continue..."

I have a 20-gigabyte hard drive. Is there a way that I
can help the XP find it?

Thank you,

David
