I'm getting the same error message, but I *do* have a drive listed. I
can even create a partition and format it using the advanced settings,
but I can't select it as the installation location.
I do get a warning that Windows may not be able to boot the drive, and
to check the controller BIOS. This is because the drive is SCSI and
connected to an add-in controller. But I know it'll have no trouble
booting, as all I have is SCSI disks in the machine. I even tried
installing with just this one drive, still the Vista installer says it
can't find a suitable drive.
What is Windows looking for as suitability?
