I have a pc that lost it's OS mysteriously. I wiped the drive and fdisked it and put in my xp disk to re install windows, but when it starts loading, it says "cannot create WINDOWS/TEMP" Hit enter to retry or F3 to exit
Is the hard drive screwed?
Download a WinME bootdisk from bootdisk.com...FDisk the drive again and make sure you make it a primary active partition...Then re-boot with the floppy at the A: prompt type format C: /u and hit enter.
Then re-boot with the XP CD in and you should be good to go.
