Attached is a screen shot of my system hard drive set up. I'm using Easy BCD to boot to which ever OS as my mood strikes. I have some free space on drive X where I would like to install Vista ....for no other reason other that I can. Vista set up keeps giving an error message " cannot find or create proper partition to install Vista."
What am I missing? I have managed to get all the other OS's installed including Linux.
Thanks but that did not work. Same error message "Windows can not find a partition adequate for installation"
How many stand alone drives and how many are actually partitioned ?
You have many drives running and also what type of drive you installing the os on ?
Also if your trying to install it on a partitioned drive with a os on it I would think the MBR wouldn't allow it
I suspect it wants to create it's own System Reserved Partition which it can't do on an MBR type disk that already has 3 primary partitions on it.
My main Windows 10 is a stand alone M.2 drive
Windows 7 & 8 and the partition where I would like to put Vista are on a 1 TB SSD
Windows 10 Creator's Edition and a data partition are on a 120 GB SSD
Linux is on another SSD with another data partition
