cannot install partition

Cannot install to Partition?

Hi,
When I tried installing windows Vista Beta 2, it gets to the point of choosing the partition but keeps saying 'Cannot find suitible system disc', even though it formatted a 40 GB partition for it. I don't understand why it can't find a suitable installation drive. :s

Is the drive formatted as a NTFS partition? How did you launch setup, from a DVD or Virtual Drive? Have you tried extracting the contents of the ISO to a folder and launch setup from there, when the Custom option becomes available, click it, select the partition you created for Vista. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta
