hi when I'm trying to install vista I get the error when selecting the hard drives :

"Unable to install Windows to the selected location"

I tired to boot with the DVD and upgrade type too, I still got the same error.

already tried formating the harddrive.

I also tried the Vista RC2(works fine months ago) but I got the same error.

My Specs:
Intel Celeron 1.6ghz
512mb of ram
ati radeon 9250 128 mb
maxtor 60gb and maxtor 20 gb of harddrive.
DVD Writer 8x

Please reply, it's urgent Smile I only have 2 hours...

Thanks in Advance

did you go to microsoft website and do the test to see if your system is up to the vista bulk? you need some more ram,

Your system is NOT good enough to properly run Vista.
You need AT LEAST 1 GB of RAM, and a better videocard wouldn't hurt either, IF you are still going to try and install it.
I wouldn't do it if i where you though.

it works fine on my pc weeks ago.. but my bro reformatted it because he cant play his game..:( i used the readyboost thing so my pc is not that slow... and besides the minimum requirement is 512 mb, 20 gb hdd with 15gb free space, and blah etc.

i asked the microsoft forums about it but no one replied.. seems no one had encountered the same error as mine...

Those minimal requirements will barely allow your system to run once Vista is installed.
The requirements i gave are what most computer stores consider the bare minimum to run Vista.
And since last i checked,microsoft where idiots when it came to hardware, i'd feel it's safe to say that you're better of trusting folks who know the hardware.

Inability to read or comprehend good advice?

Your system is insufficient to run Vista.
