I was wondering if anyone else here has run into the same issue that I have
when installing Windows Vista RC1. My copy works fine, but one thing I did
notice, is that when you create a new partition in Setup, it doesn't ask you
to format it. I skpped this the first time, but the next time i remembered
it. When I did it it only took about 10 seconds on my 40 gig HD. I was
wondering if thats what should happen or if Setup automatically formats the
partition when it is created.

Thanks
 
If you create a new partition and don't format it yourself, Setup will
format it before installing.
