Vista x64 on nvidia 4 SATA drive?

[marstein]

Got RC2 64-bit on DVD and it goes well until the "Install Windows" dialog, where you pick the partition. I have 2 SATA drives on the nvidia (ASUS A8N-Sli Deluxe). It won't install on the SATA drive "Windows is unable to find a system volume that meets its criteria for installation." error message appears.
I deleted the drive, created a new partition and reformatted and still no luck. Same error.
I do not use RAID, just the SATA connector on the motherboard on a 160GB disk. XP installed on the other exact same drive.
Are there any special drivers I have to load?

Thanks!

Try it with only 1 drive installed?
- delete all partitions and then recreate and reformat them (during DVD install)

Okay, did that and it worked! Thanks! I disconnected my SIL0680 PATA controller and the other SATA and IDE drives. Vista 64 installed allright.

Now how do I get to dual-boot between XP on SATA disk 1 and Vista on SATA disk2?

Vista will set that up automatically. However, if you didn't have that other disk connected, you'll need to manually create the boot menu. Google around a bit.
