Hello,

I'm currently trying to install RC1 on a seperate parition to XP, however
every time I try I get a message during installation telling me that it is
unable to assign a drive letter to the partition (error code 0x80004005).

Can anyone offer any suggestions about how I can go about fixing this?

Many thanks in advance

You have to create and format the needed partition from within XP first.
That's the easiest way to do it.
