Vista Beta1 install problem under VS05R2

Message:

I'm using VS05 R2. I'm at the screen "Where do you want to install
windows". I have my virtual disk listed as unpartitioned space -
Partition1. When I try to format, I get the Back/Next dialog. Click
Next and wait a few moments, then I am back at the screen and nothing
has happend. I can't get past this screen. At the bottom it reads
"The partition you selected is not ready for installtion...." Please
reboot and verify the disk is enabled in your computer's BIOS".

Please help! I have seen a few folks have Vista working, but have not
seen this problem reported.

Vista does not yet install on a raw disk, even a raw .vhd. If you reboot
the vm the Vista installer should see the partition. You can also use
something like fdisk to create a partition.

Thanks for the info. I installed the latest build on an existing partition
so didn't know.

Hi Colin,

The restart trick which worked with build 5112 doesn't seem to work with
build 5270 of Vista. I had to partition and format the vhd to get it to
install.
