Humm! Tried to post this the other night...but?

I got the same error so I reformatted the drive and actually set an active
partition as FAT32 and installed Vista with no further problems.

I followed an advise to start with XP and than in XP start setup of the Vista
DVD and install on the separate HD. This was successful until the next
problem .........posted as a new thread "Vista OS loader fails"
