Hi SacramentoJoe
When you first reach the target drive screen of the vista install, there should be options to delete partitions, try giving that a go, then create a new partition and install Visat Let me know if this works High500 |

Would fdisk /mbr fix this? I've deleted all partitions and re-created numerous times via fdisk, the MBR is the only thing I can think of but I'm not an expert in this area. |

How many partitions exist on this drive...that can be detected ? Have you tried the respective correct hard drive manufacturer's diagnostic? Hard Drive Installation and Diagnostic Tools - http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic28744.html Louis |
