CAUSE
The error occurs because Setup cannot write the disk signature. Some computers have a BIOS option to enable protection of the master boot record (MBR) and/or boot sector. If this option is turned on, Setup is not able to write the disk signature or create/delete partitions during Setup.



RESOLUTION
Disable the CMOS option to protect the MBR and boot sector.

although the article talks about NT4, I think it may be the same category of problem.
