Partitioning disk during install

[John]

Hi

I have installed a secondary sata disk for vista. I booted into primary xp
disk and ran vista setup from vista dvd. The setup starts but can not see
the new secondary disk as that disk has not been partitioned yet and I was
hoping that vista setup will allow me to do that. Is there a way to
partition the new disk during vista install?

Thanks

Regards

Hi,

Yes, but you need to boot from the DVD to do it, not run it from within an
existing OS.

Does Vista see either drive? You may need to supply SATA drivers during the
install
