Installation Failing ~ PC not compatidle with Vista?

[Guest]

When I try to install, it gives me:

" You must make the following changes before installing Windows
Close Windows installation and contact the device manufacturer for updated
driver software for these devices:
Your computer is not compatible with Windows Vista, so Windows Vista cannot
be installed.
"

Now this is a nice error, telling me exactly whats wrong </sarcasm>

Running the advisor tool tells me that I don't have a big enough HDD, which
is true in terms of my C:\ drive only having a few GB free. However, I want
to install Vista to my S:\ drive (20GB), but I can't get into the installer,
to do anything.

Help appriciated and needed asap.

Thanks.

Before the installer can see your S: drive you may need to supply a hard
disk controller driver on the screen where you see the Load Drivers button.
Since you did not give any information about your machine at all, I cannot
tell.

If S: is an external usb or firewire drive you cannot use it.

I can get to S:\ via My Compoter in Windows, and its a slave drive with a
20GB partition.

Im using a virtual drive as well, since I don't have a DVD burner, so it
doesn't ask anything from me before giving that "helpful" error.
