It seems all three of my problems may be from this setting

I made all 500GB (HD) into an NTFS partition
(GParted was too fast in formatting - worried)
bash fsck instead of fdisk worked fine - no errors
the check disk in gparted menu didn't complain either

But trying to install XP finds some CHKDSK error
(tells me to chkdsk - gives me four hex numbers)
But Windows Setup loads all the drivers and
only blows when trying to start Windows itself

Setting back from Legacy to UEFI gives "check media[failed]"

This problem showed up when I moved the Win7 partiton
(hopefully now gone - deleted partitions, reformatted)

Also Knoppix (Quantian) can't find the filesystem
knoppix home=/dev/sda1/knoppix.img won't work either



One wierd possibility - I burned the ISOs on DVDs
Maybe they should be CD?

I know - my flawed memory (of doing this a decade ago) is confusing me
