Solve : boot partition?

1.	Solve : boot partition?
Answer» I have an old HARDRIVE and i want to use it. I formated it and then used killdisk on it. after that i tried to install windows 98se through DOS. I got a message "cannot create a temporary directory. if you have HPFS or NTFS installed on your hard drive you will need to create an MS-DOS boot partition to setup windows". Can anyone tell me what it MEANS and what to do? :-/SORTED Killdisk "Erases partitions, LOGICAL drives and even not used disk space". Use fdisk to create partitions, then format.You don't have to create an MS-DOS boot partition to install Windows 2000 or Windows XP if you have a bootable CD drive and go into the BIOS to set up your PC to boot the CD drive first. Then you can have a completely blank hard drive and the Windows installer will partition and format it for you.
