Hello

HP Mini 210

I am trying to install windows starter 7.

Currently I have installed fedora 14 xfce. And I have allocated 24 GB NTFS for hard disk for the windows partition.

My current partitions are as follows:

/dev/sda2              97G  4.9G   91G   6% /
tmpfs                 494M   92K  494M   1% /dev/shm
/dev/sda1             485M   68M  392M  15% /boot
/dev/sda5             169G   26G  135G  16% /home

I have created a boot USD to install windows starter 7.

When the computer boots into the windows setup and I selected the partition I want to install windows on. I get the following message:

"Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition."

This is setup displaying all my partitions:

Disk 0  Partition 1 500MB   0   Primary
Disk 0  Partition 2 97.7GB  0   Primary
Disk 0  Partition 3 4GB 0   Primary
Disk 0  Partition 4 171.3GB 0   Logical
Disk 0  Partition 5 24.6GB  24.5    Logical <-- Trying install on this partition NTFS

I have also tried to delete the partition in setup and create a new one. And also tried to format the partition.

However, I still get the same error message.

Many thanks for any advice,
