Windows Vista installation woe
Installing Windows Vista on my newly-assembled PC was not a walk in the park. I bought a Seagate 250GB SATA Hard and partitioned it into 3: 100GB, 100GB and 32GB (the remaining part) using another PC. During the installation, I was prompted with this error “Windows is unable to find a system volume that meets its criteria for installation”. Not knowing what to do I restarted the entire set-up hoping that it’ll do the trick. Stupid idea, of course it won’t work. So I boot on my old 80 GB IDE drive, attached my new SATA drive and deleted all of the partitions (Ugh!). And it worked! The installation proceeded perfectly.
‘Turns out Windows Vista needs to be compatible with partitions (as I have suspected). I found this. Well, that was a little late. But it’s all good now. I’m feasting on Vista’s Aero. Slick!
