[Guest]

I get as far where it says where do you want to install windows? It has 2
items..Disk 0 partition 1 Recovery {D:} the other says Disk 0 partition 2
{C:}...Then on the bottom it says windows cannot be installed to this hard
disk space windows must be installed to a partition formatted as NTFS...When
i click on load driver it says to install the device driver needed to access
your hard drive,insrt the installation media containing the driver files,and
then click ok....Need help please....Thanks

Are you starting the Vista install DVD from your desktop, that is, running
your current Operating System and the starting the installation? Or are you
installing by booting into the DVD?

The usual reason is that your C: is fully occupied by an earlier version of
Windows which was installed on a FAT32 filesystem instead of NTFS.

You have choices. You can convert your existing FAT filesystem to NTFS
before installing Vista. You can shrink the FAT partition to make room
for a new Vista partition, but only if your C: has plenty of unused space
remaining.

What do you have in C: now?
