After i finish the initialize database cluster part of the installation i get this message: "The PostgreSQL data directory must be on an NTFS formatted volume.
If you wish to install the data directory on another type of partition(which is not recommended, and is insupported) you must initialize the database cluster manually by running initdb.exe."

Dont know what to do :(

Are you on an old laptop?
Is your C:/ drive still a FAT32 drive??
Do you have a D:/ partition? Is there a lot of data (all your music, movies, etc) on your D:/ drive on can you delete all data and format your D:/ drive.

Is so, format your D:/ drive in the NTFS format and install SQL on D:/

You can convert c: if you have no 2nd partition like D: as Pat suggested.
