i have been trying to install windows xp on to a partition on a hard drive ,but the first drive(c:)is fat32 and when i use fdisk to try and delete it it says "cannot delete logical drive while extended drive exists"so when i try to delete the "extended drive"it says "cannot delete extended drive while logical drive exists"
i try to boot from cd (by changing boot order in bios)ti install xp but it wont start,i think thats due to the (c:) drive being a fat32 partition,but as i cannot delete it,im stumped
i cant use computer management as the drive was dual boot(win98(c)win xp(d)) and i cant boot into xp on that drive
is there 3rd party software which you can download which will partition drives ,and you can make on to a floppy(like a 98 start up disk),its only a spare machine so theres no rush but i would like to solve this as its bugging me
