Last time I had to redo this machine for some reason windows installed on d
drive instead of c...I noticed when it did it but I had been trying forever
to get XP to recognize a sata drive. When it finally did I didn't want to
change anything. So, no problems until now. I have a msi file that will
only install on c drive. It does not give you a choice....Since there is
no OS on c drive it can not install. (its drivers) Is there a way to
extract the files out of a msi file, or some way to force the msi file to
install on drive D?
 
This has happened to me as well a few times i found that I didnt fdisk and reformat my C: drive before i tried to reinstall Windows XP. Only after i did this and tried a reinstall did it find my C: drive and gave me the choice of which drive i wanted to install Windows on. Hope this helps or if you still have the problem.
