Hi, I was trying to install Fedora 10 (linux distro)
but I had accidentally changed settings for both hard drives.. Meaning I formatted both hard drives.. and when the installation failed, I had the error "no operating system found"

I had a C:/ drive
and an X:/ drive.. I can't see my C:/ drive.. but in CMD I'm using X:/ but it was formatted so.. hehe.. no operating system..

I used the Vista DVD.. I tried to format but I get a disk error.
(corrupted)

Now I'm not sure what to do to format my drives to NTFS..
I wana get my data back aswell.. But I doubt it'll be there if it's there.. I can't see..

So.. what would you suggest?
Thanks!

EDIT

I just delete to partitions from disk 0..
So I have 153 Gb free space..
But Windows install says "Windows is unable to find system volume that meets its criteria for installation" ?
LOL What?

Windows is unable to find system volume that meets its criteria for installation

Is the message i receive when I try to do a new install...
Also I have a 400GB drive which was the one I wasn't trying to use for linux (fedora)
but accidentally used both drives for fedora.

I forgot what Fedora used to format but I think it was sec3 or something..
Is it possible to format to NTFS? Because vista CD can't do it..
:/

Is it possible to get the information back from my drive?

Normally you just have to delete the Partion/Drive and then install Vista

Yes you can use the Fedora to fomat to NTFS But as I said above you are better off to delete the HDD with Vista and then start a fresh install

If the drive has been formatted for Linux then no the chances are not good

PS you can also use this to access and delete the Drive;

Finally i got vista installed, I started the download for recommended updates.. and while that was happening I got a BSOD NETIO.sys and when I tried to log back on, and go to the internet, I got another BSOD netio.sys

Unsure what I should do next

Hi GaMT,

This looks to be a Network driver problem If you Visit the website for your hardware you should be able to download working Vista Drivers It could also be possible that you might find a hotfix for it

IF you have difficulties let me know your specs and I will try to find it for you :)

Yea, I realized that autorun magik program kept crashing, so when I thought had installed my nforce drivers I actually didn't..

I downloaded the 750a drivers from nVidia..
Thanks anyway ;]

Hmmm.. so this wasn't an nforce driver problem.. but my ralink wireless card, duhh. :P
Okay so the drivers on disc were a 2006 driver.. now I have the 2007 (vista driver)

All seems good for now.. I'll leave this as un-solved for a day to see what happends..

Thank You.

EDIT
Hmm.. Just got a STOP bsod when I went I was trying to un-check a windows update.

Damn, just got the NETIO.sys error again....
Now i'm totally unsure what to do, I have up-2-date nforce drivers,ralink drivers,video card drivers..
check my system specs.

It was because I didn't update to SP1 so I went in safe-mode and got the download then I downloaded all the updates...

Umm btw, is it possible to make my Vista CD include SP1? some how?
:/
