Vista 64 and HDD problem

[strokebow]

Please help

When I am installing Vista 64...

"Where do you want to install Windows?" - Window heading

Both the HDDs come up on the screen and under 'name' heading its says....

"Disk 0 Unallocated Space"
and "Disk 1 Unallocated Space"

There is an option "format" but its greyed out

When I select either of the HDDs there is a warning message at bottom of screen saying:

"This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu."

Then when I ignore this warning and click "next" it says...

"Windows is unable to find a system volume that meets its criteria for installation"

Neither of my HDDs will work?

Both brand new... there is something subtley wrong but I cant see it.



Please Help

Much appreciated

The format option is greyed out as that is for partitions already made.

Look for the "New" or "Create" button or sumthing.
