I just purchased a Dell Dimension 4550. I took out the original hard drive and tried to reinstall XP on a new hard drive. After creating a new partition and after formatting the partition to NTFS, this is the message I received: Setup is unable to format the partition. The disk may be damaged. Make sure the drive is swithched on and properly connected to your computer. If the disk is a SCSI disk, make sure you SCSI devices are properly terminated. Consult your computer manual/ SCSI adapter documentation for more info. You must select a different partition for Windows XP. If anyone knows what this means please write back. Thanks!!!!
When I put the original preinstalled XP hard drive back, it works fine. When I turn on the computer with the original drive, a green light turns on on the motherboard by this code CR4G1.
