Hi,
New guy here, figured I would see if anyone can help out with the following issue. I have an HP N5000 Notebook with a brand new HD (40 GB, 5400 RPM Toshiba) installed yesterday by Fry's Elect. I am attempting to recover system information with HP's 3 supplied Recovery Disks (which should in theory load up my Win XP Home, Office apps and other basic software that came with the factory computer). However, upon trying to install (recover) from CD 1 of 3, I am getting the following error message:
Error occurred while creating Save to Disk partition.
X:\TOOLS\S2D>
Then I am back to that dos prompt and left scratching my head. In order to get to this step, I boot from my CDRom (actually a DVD drive) with Disk 1 inside. I get 3 options, 1. Turn off Computer, 2. Continue, 3. Advanced (I believe). I hit Continue, it prompts me that I will lose all info on the HD (which is fine since it is new and blank), and then it begins the process which leads to the error message shortly thereafter. For more sys info, I have an AMD Athlon 4, 1.1 GHZ, 256 RAM, and the DVD drive. That is about all the info I can give at this time. The system is not recognizing my HD as I have tried to even run a format on drive c: and that fails as well. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. THANK YOU!!!
