Why and how do I get round it? > If you have Vista installation media, and backups, it will be far easier to install XP...use it to create the partition space you plan for Vista, and any other drives.

You could try to partition some unallocated space with FAT32...see if that works for XP to see, but XP first is the preferred method. -- Vita brevis breviter in brevi finietur, Mors venit velociter quae neminem veretur.
