Vista - [Error: 0x80004005]

Hello, I'm trying to install Windows Vista. I currently have 3 harddrives,
two of them have 25GB of free space and the third, external one, has 45GB of
free space.

When I start the installation I get the following error message:
Your computer does not have enough space for temporary files
Windows installation needs at least 436 megabytes (MB) of free space on any
partition for temporary files. Free some space on any partition.
[Error: 0x80004005]


One of the 25GB partitions has been completely formatted to NFTS... Any
ideas on what could be wrong??

Thank you very much!

Which method are you using for installation? From DVD, Virtual Drive? Have
you tried extracting the contents of the ISO and launch setup from within XP
and select Custom when the option is made available and install Vista on the
partition you dedicated for Vista? Also, Vista cannot install on external
drives.
