You will notice that it will allow you to continue, even with this error message, you just have to hit the ESC key. See if they have anything called drivespace or doublespace or something that looks like these names (think the filenames are called drvspace.bin and dblspace.bin) in the config.sys. The drive could be compressed and that's what it is complaining about. In this case, ho yin leung would be correct, use fdisk to delete every partition out of your system, make a primary parition, format that parition and then try to reinstall Windows.
Windows could also be talking about smartdrv. It warns you about it, as smartdrv can inhibit Windows detection of devices during its search and find part of the install.
Again, fdisk and format will take care of both of these problems.
