hello guys another pc came to me lately.
Its my sister in law PC, she told me that she want her pc to be reformatted.
So I Immmediately formatted the PC, here are the SPECS: P4 1.8 ghz, ECS mthrbrd (P4VMM2), 128 mb of RAM, 40 gb of HD.

I tried to format the said drive and I tried to format using FDISK and suddenly an error came up ALLOCATION something.... and I realize that FDISk is not compatible with large hardrives like 40 gb so i decided to download a FDISK that can configure a large drives and I tried to reformat it. Then suddenly I decided to install windows XP PRO, the problem is this when Im in the middle of installing the OS and partitioning and using NTFS as the file system the dirve into 2 drives I decided to install it in C:/ and it hangs on the formatting process, then I decided to install it in D:/ and it continues on working on its setup process and in the stage where Installing packages its just stops there and doesnt continue to anymore it remains 32% I waited for about 15 min. it remained as is.

After this scenario I decided to partition it into 3 drives, I insatlled it in E:/ still the same, nothing change.

I think a possible bad sector isnt guys?
Im really positive with this, its the first time I ever experienced this.,
Any SMART post guys in this scenario, or willl I try to install win98 first and then Winxp, whatever post may do.

THANKS IN ADVANCE, AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
