I have tried to install SVNNotifier, but interrupted in middle of installation process and deleted installation file. And after when I start system I always receive small windows to continue installation. I tried delete from startup menu, but after restart in re-created. I suppose that something need fix in registry, but not sure what exactly. Please help. Thanks.

You can use this guide, hope this solves your problem.

I use a program called Revo Uninstaller -- the free version. It will not only run the application-specific uninstaller program, but also search for and remove any registry files associated with it that the uninstaller left behind.
Since you stopped the install before it was completed, there may not be an actual uninstall program. Also, even Revo Uninstaller may not see that the program is "installed", and therefore not give you the option to uninstall.
My suggestion would be to download and install the free version of Revo, then download and reinstall the SVNNotifier application. Once you have both installed, then run Revo to uninstall. It should find all the associated leftovers.

You can try this which is quick way to do it ..
- Install and run http://www.ccleaner.com
- Scan the registry, do a backup when prompted and fix all
- In CCleaner goto Tools, startup and find the svn program and disable the entry
Reboot and test!

My system has three SATA hard drives and an IDE hard drive, so it looks like this:
- SATA 1 - Ubuntu
- SATA 2 - EMPTY
- SATA 3 - Code/Documents
- IDE - Movies/Music
I want to install XP in SATA 2, so I pop in my XP CD and restart. I then try to install in the unpartitioned space:
It comes up with this error on the screen:
To install Windows XP on the partition you selected, Setup must write some startup files to the following disk:
[..]
However, this disk does not contain a Windows XP-compatible partition.
To continue installing Windows XP, return to the partition selection screen and create a Windows XP-compatible partition on the disk above. If there is no free space on the disk, delete an existing partition, and then create a new one.
When I try to create a new partition in the unpartitioned space, I get the same error.
I've tried this on two separate XP CDs with the same results.

Plug out the hard drives that contain any data at the moment.
Try installing Windows XP with only the empty hard drive connected to your computer.
And write back what happens, its also advisable to always install Windows before you install any linux operating systems on your computer but that's just in my opinion.

You have to delete all partition no matter if it said NTFS, Raw or unknown delete all of them one by one pressing "D" and confirm pressing L. After that you get a new screen with the whole space of the hard drive and 4 ways to reformat you hard drive select the 3rd "Partition like a NTFS' and press enter ,when formatting is completed , XP installation set up it will continue.
I hope this will help u :)
Just Let me Know if u fixed the problem

The simplest way to work around this XP installer bug would be to run "sudo cfdisk" in Ubuntu and just partition drive 2 manually, create a single large ntfs partition, then restart the XP installer.

According to this discussion it could be a problem with the drive itself. Before returning it for replacement, you might try unplugging the cables, cleaning the connections and replugging.
if the complete drive was originally a primary partition and you made it now into 2 partitions by creating another partition then that partition must now become the primary partition for windows to install. Just make the new partition the primary. Use partition wizard or whatever partition software you may have.
