Hey everyone. I just leeched Vista Final, and attempted to install. I used Boot Camp, but ran into one major issue: the installation said that Windows couldn't find a compatible drive to install on. I made sure I formatted to NTFS (not FAT32), and what not, and still no luck. Any ideas? Thanks.

try reformatting a couple times. i had the same problem as i installed it a few times (playing around with different versions). go into bootcamp, restore to a single volume, and then repartition with a different size (1 gb bigger worked for me) and then try to install again. it is a really weird quirk, i'd like to know what causes it.

Vista requires a 40gb partition with 15gb free, don't ask why it's just strange. Read this for min system requirements
