I have a brand new 300GB Maxtor drive in a fresh system for Vista Testing.
The setup fires off just fine and reaches the "Where do you want to install
windows" section of the installation, here the hard drive is shown.
As the drive is brand new selected create partition and selected all of the
drive, when this was done the "format" option appeared as expected.
When format is selected the system goes to the hour glass, the hard drive
light is on solid as if it is formatting the drive.
However after a few minuets the hour glass goes and you still cannot select
"next" only refresh/delete/format.
The drive is standard IDE and is set to master.
No other devices on the same cable
This is the only hard drive in the system

Any Ideas?
