Setup was unable to install Boot loader

[MrHappyMonkey]

I am trying to do a fresh install of Windows 2000 Pro on one of my boxes. I used fdisk to delete the partition, than created a new primary dos. partition. I than formated the drive to FAT32, and proceeded to install Windows 2000 by choosing the CD-Rom drive, loding the i386 folder, than running winnt.exe. I got the following error:


<<
Setup was unable to install Boot loader
Ensure that your c: drive is formmated and that the drive is not dammaged.
>>

.

What am I doing wrong?

yea, i though that could have been the problem, but I have used this boot disk before for formatting a Win2k machine.

Thanks!
