Re: Unable to install MCE2005

Yes, primary partition.

The problem is that the hardware (S-Ata ide controller) is too new for
MCE install disk. May be because it is not "servicepacked"... XP SP2
boot install works perfectly instead...

Where I can download an upgraded MCE boot disk (MSDN...)?

Is the partition where you are installing MCE2005 also a primary partition
so you can boot from it?

another partition) from Win XP home.
