Message when installing windows.......

I formatted my harddrive and proceeded to install windows onto it and this message came up.........

This Version of Microsoft scandisk will work only with MS-Dos versions 5.0 and later. setup found a compressed volume or a disk cache utility on your computer. Quit setup and check your compressed volume with your disk compression software or remove the disk-cache utility....................then run setup again.............


What does that mean and how do I remedy this issue?

Zero fill the hard drive with the hard drive manufacturer's diagnostic utility and reinstall Windows.
