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.

Hey.. I am installing right off the dvd at boot up, I got the right driver
for it to detect my drives and everything was good and up popped this error
80070017
Is there another better way to install? and do you think it would be better
to format the drives first?

Make sure the target drive is formatted as NTFS. I would extract the
contents of the ISO to a folder in XP and launch setup from there and see if
it works.

I had the same problem. I used Daemon Tools 4 to mount the image and run it
from XP. That worked fine. Not all of the drivers are quite there for this
build, so that is probably the problem when running it from some DVD
equipment.
