Choose a partition

[Guest]

I 've installed Vista Beta 2 on virtual Server 2005 without problems. Vista
keeps on hanging
As my PC has 3 partitions, I tried to install it on a clean partition but
after booting from DVD I get the following screens:
1. Choose language, culture etc.
2. install now

When do I choose on what partition I want Vista to be installed ?

I can't remember having seen that screen when installing Vista on virtual
Server 2005

On Windows XP and earlier versions when you boot form CD (or DVD) you get
that question in the beginning before having to choose a language etc.

Thanks for your help

1) Choose the language and culture etc.
2) Choose the keyboard layout if it asks you.
3) Click Install Now
4) Go through the setup process until you get to the "Clean installation" or
"Upgrade" options.
5) Clicking the "Clean installation" button will let you choose the
partition or drive you want to install Vista onto.

If you create a bootable disk then run Setup from boot, you'll have a
similar setup to XP where you can create, format and install onto partitions

I would stick with the default language during the initial phase of setup,
then choose your language after Vista is installed.

Good point - some people have had trouble with entering in their Product Key
and had to revert back to US English.

Is it possible to install Vista bootable on an external USB 2.0 HD?
