Installation onto logical partition
Vista RC1 will not install onto a logical partition. I have made su
1. The partition is marked active. 2. The partition is large enough. 3. The partition is made and formatted with the installer. Installation chokes with a "Windows is unable to find a system volume that meets its criteria for installation" error. Can installation of Vista be performed onto a logical partition? (if not, this NEEDS to be fixed.) |

XP had this issue also IIRC. You can create up to 3 physical partitions (+ the extra physical for the logical partitons) so just boot off one off those. Tony |

Of course you can.. all my vista betas have been installed on logical
partitions. I've even run xp on a logical. Windows doesn't care what partition it's on as long as there is one active primary partition c:\, it'll just place the bootloader on the primary active partition. John, don't make the logical partition active. You already have a primary active partition which would be C:. Vista will just put it's bootmanager on C:. "Tony Hoyle" wrote in message ...
