Settings.

checkbox and then click OK twice.
Removing Disk Partitions During Installation
During installation, you may be unable to select the hard disk you want to use. This
issue can occur if the hard disk partition contains an invalid byte offset value. To
resolve this issue, you’ll need to remove the partitions on the hard disk (which
destroys all associated data) and then create the necessary partition using the
advanced options in the Setup program. During installation on the “Where do you
want to install Windows?” page, you can remove unrecognized hard disk partitions
by following these steps:
1. Press Shift-F10 to start a command prompt.
2. At the command prompt, type
diskpart.
3. To view a list of disks on the computer, type
list disk.
4. Select a disk by typing select
disk DiskNumber where DiskNumber is the number of
the disk you want to work with.
5. To permanently remove the partitions on the selected disk, type
clean.
6. When the cleaning process finishes, type
exit to exit the DiskPart tool.
7. Type
exit to exit the command prompt.
8. Restart the computer, and then start the Windows Vista installation.
