Longhorn installation - error with device?

[Vidde]

Hi ppl!

I got the Windows Vista BETA 1 which probably -a lot- of you also had no problem finding

Anyway, at the start of the installation, at the "Where do you want to install Windows?", a list of my harddrives appear.

The only problem is, my newly bought Western Digital Caviar 250GB S-ATA disk are "Unavailable"..

Check screenshot:

Also, I have a "saftly remove hardware devices" icon at my tastbar in WinXP, where I can "disable" my S-ATA disk...? What the..

Anyway, system specs:

Asus A8N SLI-Deluxe

AMD 64bit 3500+

6x Harddrives, where 1 of'em is the S-ATA drive. THe others are IDE.

Don't think graphcard, ram etc have something to do with it, so..

Hoping for an answer to this =)

Cheers, folx!

Don't feel bad - I can't get the F-ing thing to install on a gool old regular IDE drive on my SATA system...

Try using the 32bit/64bit drivers for your SATA drive (make a disk like you would with any other Windows install), and see if that works.

I ended up just throwing an IDE drive in and installing it that way, because I didn't want to spend any more time than I needed to in order to install, but since other 32bit drivers work, I don't think it will be any different here.
