Yeah, that is my suspicion at this point. I will have to see what boot
disks I have to use to format and recreate a partition.

possible you had a glitch during the format ? Try booting with
rescue CD, UBCD, or any other type of boot system and then delete
whatever partition information is there, starting FRESH again ...

Hi folks,
I'm trying to install Windows Server 2008 on a Dell 600SC that was
running Windows 2003 Server. I loaded the DVD, put in the product
Key and told it to delete the partition on the disk because I wanted
to start clean and not upgrade. Anyway, it wiped off the old
partition and allowed me to format the drive (which only took about
1 minutes, 80 GB drive, so I am skeptical it really formatted it),
but when I select that drive to install on (creating a new partition
is not one of the options, it is greyed out, the only option to
select when I highlight the drive is next) it starts to copy files
and give me a "Windows could not prepare the partition selected for
installation" error message and can't go forward. Anyone seen
this? Do I need to create and format the partition another way?
Any advice?
Thanks,
Mike
