Vista wont install...

Postby Gunny04 » Fri Jun 01, 2007 2:14 pm

I just got vista, was happy excited etc, I formatted my E drive (Partition 2 on my main hard drive) and restarted, popped vista disk in all ready to install and be running vista, Well..... It won't let me install it, I tried all 4 of my drives and the only one that comes even close to installing says my bios may not be set up for dual setup with XP and vista, or something like that, I want to keep my C drive (XP) and run Vista side by side for testing purposes to see if it's worth keeping on or not, I have an ACER so could my bios be locked up to not allow for OS installation? If so I will be one very angry person... I spent a fortune on this and I can't install it! Any help would be nice, specs are in signature.

Fixed it, seemed to not like my IDE drive, which is for some reason not working
