So I have a Toshiba Tecra A3. 40 GB HD which I've currently allocated 17.5 GB
for Vista. The "capable" requirements off the website don't list a minimum
hard drive space, yet I've allocated this space and formatted it and the
install complains:
Windows is unable to find a system volume that meets its criteria for
installation.

Anyone know whats going on here? Some way I can get it to install. I
installed it on my desktop as a triple boot and I only allocated around 20 GB
there for it to install.
If there WAS a limit it should have been listed and expressed before I
formatted my laptop and downloaded 500 MB worth of updates and spent 2 hours
getting the other partition nice and tidy.
 
Too stupid for a beta OS.

When you help someone like this they will just be back in a few more
days with more stupid question.

This group is being flooded with moronic questions:
How do I get a product key
Where do I get a driver for xyz hardware
Won't install on my lapotop
Won't install on my computer circa 1968
My crappy video card won't run aero glass (the sky is falling)
My crappy sound card doesn't work
Can't figure out how to activate
Will my 16 bit program from 1992 run on Vista
How long can I use Vista Beta
How do I dual boot
I NEED STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS HOW TO GET XP BACK
cannot delete windows.old file

Ignore them, children should only listen to adult conversations, not
be incouraged to join in.
 
As pointed out in the other thread jackass, the problem was the harddrive
partition wasn't set active. It wasn't set active on my desktop either, but
it was causing an issue on the laptop. You might want to buy a clue before
you continue to post.

Talking of buying clues, it looks like you need to too.
 
Just a driveby troll. Maybe even a bot. He will not read your reply. Just
Block Sender under Messages (if using Vista Mail or OE).
