I have Win98SE on my PC, and I can install Win2000 with no problem what so ever(so I can have two windows). But since many drivers aren't out for Win2000 yet, so I decided to go for WINNT workstation4. Here's when the problems start. WINNT will not install because I have a 14gig HD (FAT32). But I manage to slove this problem by breaking my HD into 7 different HDs, with 2gig each. And then use Partition Magic5.0 to change them all to FAT16. However when I view the "Partition Info", I notice there are 16errors in total on my seperated HD on the "Disc Geometry Infomation" area. Why? How to fix it? And is this a major problem? Now, during the installing of WINNT, it says my HD is "corrupted or not compatible with NT(something like that)", and WINNT needs to format the HD. Ok fine with me. So I press F to format my HD in WINNT setup, but now it gives me another error message(I don't remember what the error message was...), saying it cannot format my HD?!!?! Can someone please gives me some advise and solution to the problems. Was there something I did wrong when I FDISK my hd? ARRrrrrgggg.....
