Hi,

I'm having some installation problems with vista. So i'm here hoping someone will help me out the mess..

So when i tried to install the os, i got an error lik this "failed to create partition on selected unused space. Error: 0*80042453". I have no idea how to proceed further. I read some posts of the guys having the same problem but they did't help much.

Thanks in advance:)

hello lakshmipriyan,

what I think You likely to need a driver to support the hdd's connection to the motherboard. Seems like it's not being read correctly. Download the appropriate one from the web site of the product manufacturer and feed it from disk or flash drive at the point of setup where the drives are detected and selected.

Just go to the given below link, choose your model and download HDD driver.

Thanks.
