I posted messages earlier describing my situation.

When I type setup in DOS it gets to the poit where it says "Copying Files Needed For Windows...." and thats all it does. Seems like it dies. I called up Western Digital and they told me nothing seems to be wrong with my hard drive.

I ran fdisk and formatted my drive. Someone suggested DELPART but thats for removing the primary so that didnt really work. I also tried the Data Lifeguard Tools but I still got the same error. I even tried the fdisk/mbr which didn't work either.

Please give me more suggestions or help me figure out what part isn't working properly if that's the case. Thanks.
