OK...I am not that knowledgeable about all this, so how can there be a low level driver left on a drive that has not only been first deleted, and then formatted? Not arguing, but, I am confused as to how such could still be left after all that? If what you say is true, then, how do a) get rid of it, or b) be able to reinstall with it?

Hi Spirit, yes, I have tried both drives, they are separate drives not
partitions. I have seen this happen before with another user, and they had a
very long and difficult time trying to reinstall. I don't see why it is so
difficult to reinstall Vista on a drive that it has been installed on before
if the drive has a) been deleted and b) reformatted. There is not reason I
can think of that should prevent the installation for seeing my drives as
having the sufficient criteria for installation. That is what is the
problem, and I have never seen this before, and I have done a lot of
reinstalls during the Vista beta. And yes, I have done a test on the drives
and they test fine.

Since you mentioned "Drives" have you tried only with the 2nd one now
as the primary? In fact leave the primary now out of the machine until
OS is installed..... I am thinking the 64 bit might leave a low level driver
on machine.
Might need to contact Driver Maker and/or Microsoft.

I had Vista Ultimate x64 installed on my machines, and wanted to install
the
x86. But, when I tried to install the x86 after deleting the x64 version,
I
now get an error that says that "Windows is unable to find a system volume
that meets its criteria for installation." I have reformatted the drive
and
all else that I can think of, but, it it continues to throw the error
message. What should I do? I am sure that my system and hardware is
sufficient to handle the Vista install, and I am trying to install to the
same drive that I had the other installed to:
Processor
2.00 gigahertz AMD 64 Opteron's (2 installed)
Main Circuit Board
Tyan Tiger K8WE
Memory Modules
2 GB RAM
I don't understand what the problem is and I hope someone here can help.
Jan :)
