OK my rigg is complete but windows install problem.

CodeMinion · 01-03-2008, 07:35 AM

ok .. everything works great on my new build.. but when i get the the windows installation menu to select what hard drive i want to put windows on i get a error that says

* windows is unable to find a system volume that meets its criteria for installation*

i have 2 hard drives a 150 gig raptor (which reads at 139 gigs available) and a 250 gig seagat barracuda (which reads at 239 gigs available).

they both show up to the page and both work. is there something i need to do or?? ... i wanted to call microsoft for trouble shooting but they are already closed.. do u guys have any idea how to fix this?
