Tip of the day: Windows Vista clean install doesn’t work on a partitioned drive AND if you then partition the drive after installing Vista, the SP2 will not install as well.
Effectively this means you should keep your primary drive as 1 partition … or wait til after you’ve installed Vista and all the service packs.
There is a short microsoft kb on this ….
Will this affect installing Windows 7 for the same reason … I think so.
