sorry for the incomplete info.
Im installing Vista Beta2 from Fresh installation (DVD boot), im using 80Gb Maxtor IDE Harddisk, and upon creating new partition i got the error above with the description of: "Failed to create new partition on the selected unused space"
Vista can display my Volume Name, Size, and Free Space: Disk 0 Unallocated Space, 76.3GB, 76.3GB.
