Default Whats Wrong With this Picture?

We had a user bring us a PC today with the hard drive you see below in it. They complained that they were unable to install Windows XP to the drive and were getting all sorts of errors from the install process and that the drive was unusually slow.

Click on the picture to get the larger image and see if you can determine what was wrong. We know and will announce tomorrow.

Not enough space would be by guess. I don't even think drives were 1GB back in '93.
