                Gordon,

                Well, I was installing ubuntu and was
                a bit trigger happy. I wiped out new windows vista
                (not many data). I am trying to make dual boot now
                but no windows gets installed ( ubuntu is there luckily)    
                during windows installation some partitions were made NTFS
                some left ext3. A mess means there are some random partitions.
                I was trying gparted live cd but it does not have
                marge option.

                My problem with vista is that it stops in the last phase of the
installation
                called "Completing installation". I can see the dots
going right and left but
                nothing ever happens. It is like 3/4 of the process (according
to the bar).
                I found some trace on the web saying that it might be partition
problrm in fact.
                I have tried two different images of vista burned to the cd.
 
                "I haven't seen it in a while but it might be a faulty
partition such as overlapping partitions. Not sure but some people had issues
with too many linux installs not allowing ms to run. They had to zero out the
partition tables. I can't find that link."

Might try a system diag suite.



                It is partition logic that cannot detect the disk. Partition
magic would have to be 
                installed in windows.   
                 
               
                             Jacek
