Vista install on SATA drive

I am trying to do a clean install of Vista Ultimate on a new Seagate 320GB
drive. I have an Intel D875PBZ MB with a 8280ER ICH5R SATA controller. The
upgrade advisor says that this config is okay and the installation can see
the drive and even deleted a partition and formated the drive. I have tried

it with both the SATA RAID enabled and disabled thru the BIOS. I have the
latest BIOS (P34) on the MB. I have loaded the last ICH5R drivers that INTEL

had available on it's website (a floppy install 5.1 although the direct
install goes up to 5.5). No matter what I try the installation tells me that

there is "No suitable volume available". How do I get this to work?

Thanks

On a brand new hard drive, you must create a new partition,
then format the new partition. Pay close attention to the
setup options.
