I have 2 HDD's in my laptop, XP installed on a 100 gig C drive and I
installed vista on the second, 60 gb hdd
both are SATA, separate arrays, and I successfully got vista install to load
the XP drivers to access them - from a USB key - interestingly would not load
them from a usb floppy drive.
anyway, install copies and expands the files etc, but then says it can't
make necessary changes to the system drive, and fails
any ideas?
