| | Partitioning disk during install Hi I have installed a secondary sata disk for vista. I booted into primary xp disk and ran vista setup from vista dvd. The setup starts but can not see the new secondary disk as that disk has not been partitioned yet and I was hoping that vista setup will allow me to do that. Is there a way to partition the new disk during vista install? Thanks Regards |

You may need to supply SATA drivers during the install "John" <John@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:%236e0OsdDIHA.3716@xxxxxx Quote: > Hi > > I have installed a secondary sata disk for vista.
