Hello! MTFS disk with windows XP SP2 shall not come up with any error messages at all if: 1. use a windows XP bootable cd. For this, you'll have to open the bios setting and set the cd device, as the first boot device.
2. when the windows setup shows you with the option to format the disk, before installing windows XP, take the help of a clever sighted person to correctly point and click on the C drive, for formatting. 3. while formatting, mormally, all the bad secters are repaired and windows is successfully installed. If for any reason, the installation has to be qwit due to unexpected messages, then you must remove the hard drive, boot it on some other pc as this disk as a slave and check the disk. Hope this helps.

Windows 98 does not recognize NTFS partitions. Hence, you cannot access them from DOS by booting with the Windows 98 installation CD. Also if you had Windows XP on your system earlier, most likely you would get a message saying that your system is running with a higher version of Windows and cannot installk Windows 98. Even if you install Windows 98 somehow, partition D would not be available. Why not you try to repair Windows XP itself instead of formatting the system. This option is available on most of the operating system CDs now. Regards...
