Help to install PostgreSQL in Windows

[Hussein Baghdadi]

Hi.
I'm trying to install PostgreSQL 8.1 but I'm facing some problems.
(My System is WinXP SP2, FAT32 File system).
While installation, I accepted that PostgreSQL will create an account called postgresql, then I reached to the panel that allow us to set the character encoding, username, service name.
But when I clicked next, PostgreSQL displayed an error message indicates that I have to use NTFS file system or it will accept FAT32 but I have to run initdb tool.
Well, I said Ok and after finishing installation, I did the following :
* Running the command %POSTGRESQL%\bin\initdb - \data
This command showed that the data dir will be used by me "John" -I'm the admin- , then it created some files but before finishing, an error message said that I have to run this command under non-admin user (all the created dirs have been deleted).
Any help here ? What to do ?

Dear John,
For security reasoon, Postgre sql won't be installed using an account with administrative permission.SO i think everything will work properly if you install postgre under a non-administrator account
