So I just finished building my machine and I'm trying to install Media Center 2005. I have two WD Caviar SE16 500gb HDs and one Rapter 150gb HD, and I'm trying to install the OS on the Raptor. Windows setup will allow me to install it on either of the 500gb HDs, but every time I try to install on the 150gb, it gives me this message:

"This disk does not contain a windows xp-compatible partition. To contine installing windows xp, return to the partition screen and create a windows xp-compatible partition on the disk above....."

Why in the world is the partition I'm creating not xp compatbile? And how can I create one??? Thanks in advance!
 
The SATA port you have the raptor attached to might not emulate an IDE / PATA port, so it needs you to use the F6 key and a disk controller driver diskette during install (or to change the port's setting in the BIOS, you'd need to RTFM to see)
