I have got Ubuntu installed on Disk 0, XP (C
on 80GB partition, DATA (F
on 287GB and new WIN7 (E
97GB partition (all NTFS) on Disk 1 and I'm trying to install Windows 7 RC in this new WIN7 partition
Hello,
As I wanted to install Windows 7 in a new NTFS partition I followed Step 3 Point 1 which says: "... you want to install RC on another disk partition, restart your computer with the installation disc in your DVD drive ..." I always ended up this the error: †Set up was unable to create new system partition or locate an existing partition. See the Setup log files for more infoâ€Â.
When I started the installation under XP than I could follow up all the points after 1 from step 3 without any problems.
Good luck with all installations on specially prepared partitions.
Regards
Lawrence
