Topic: fat32 and xp install problem

Hello,
i'm tying to install XP pro on a FAT32 partition.
Xp pro hangs after first reboot.
I need then to check  and repair FAT32 partition , then it works.
Any idea to avoid check and repair?

I think xp itself can format the partition during installation, so you could select this option to avoid checks and repairs.

*** It is highly recommended to backup any important files before doing resize/move operations. ***

Re: fat32 and xp install problem

thanks for responding.
I know, but I want to make an unattended install , with a system partition(fat32) and a logical partition(fat32).
I do not want to use windows partition utilities.
After first reboot there are non contiguous sectors before repair.After repair everything seems OK.
