Yo aight heres the prob i just finished building a brand new pc and i got a 120 gig HD, so i go to boot my system wit a win 98 floppy boot disk and i go to partition my drive wit a primary dos partition and i use the maximum size the partition can go, then i go to setup win 98 on my comp and it says i dont have enuff space, sounds like the partition is too small... Second of all i go to put win XP on my comp and boot up my system wit the win XP boot disks and try to partition my drive with the NTSC filetype partition and when it goes to check my drive to start installin Xp it says its a missing this file or it is corrupt, fist i when with a quick NTSC file type partitiona nd it brought the error up then i thought maybe if i do the full NTSC partition, maybe that will help but the same file came up missin or corrupt.... I need some help guys cause also when i partition my drive wit a primary dos partition i go to display the partition and it doesnt give a type of file type like FAT32 or any of that... I need help on how i can partition my drive a good way and what file type should i use for a 120 gig drive should i use like FAT32 or NTSC.... Cause i plan on having WIN XP as my OS

Help as soon as u can ty...

NTSC is the National Television System Committee, I think you meant NTFS which is NT File System.

You must have a bad XP CD if you are getting file missing/currupt errors. Is it scratched?
