[[email protected]]

I'm running:
VISTA ULTIMATE
Seagate 250GB - VISTA 32bit installed
Seagate 1TB - Data Files
Seagate 250GB - want to install WIN7 64bit
During installation when selecting the blank hard-drive Seagate 250GB for installation WIN7 64bit, I get the following:
ERROR: 0X80300024
and can't proceed.
Any suggestions?
