    Good riddance. Wish I'd done it about a year ago.

    Keef - just a couple of tips. Don't take them the wrong way, but it might help people help you in future.

    Firstly Vista requires a 40Gb drive with 15Gb of free space if you're installing Home Premium, Business or Ultimate. If you don't meet this requirement the installer will fail.

    Secondly remember that when posting on a forum people can't read minds: I'm guessing that you're actually trying to install Vista x64 in a partition on your drive, but you don't mention this until your second post.
