robjwills Posted June 26, 2004 Report Share Posted June 26, 2004 During installation of Windows 2000 Advanced Server when I create a partition I get the error - 'this disk does not contain a windows 2000 compatible partition' 'return to the previous screen and create a windows 2000 compatible partition' When I return to the screen, the new partition is labelled as Unformatted or Damaged.How to solve?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redhat Posted June 26, 2004 Report Share Posted June 26, 2004 Does the partition have a previous OS on it? Have you got Partition Magic or the like ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Smith Posted June 26, 2004 Report Share Posted June 26, 2004 I hope this is not too obvious, but once you have created the partition, have you then formatted it as well?Best option for formatting would be to use the ntfs format, as opposed to fat.Mr. M.

robjwills Posted June 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2004 The partition was newly created during install, I dont have Partition Manager, I couldnt get as far as formatting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Man Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 Can you do Scandisk or chkdsk. Or can you not get into anything at all?Also try running from a differen't partition, and checking the disk.or running from a floppy or live cd.
