Windows unable to find a system volume... with strange error...
Question
-
Hi,
I am trying to install windows Vista (64bits) on an existing system's
free / NTFS blank formated partition (yes disk is MBR and partition is active)
But I repeatedly get the
"Windows unable to find a system volume that meets criteria for installation."
Searching that message on the Web, I found KB927520, that did not help since I am not in one of the described situations...
However this lead me to peeking at setupact.log
(that I managed to open in notepad and copy to another partition of my disk by browse for driver and right click...)
And that revealed:
2008-01-15 09:24:43, Info DumpDiskInformation: Disk is an MBR disk
...
2008-01-15 09:24:43, Info DumpDiskInformation: Partition class is MBR_PRIMARY
2008-01-15 09:24:43, Info DumpDiskInformation: MBR partition of type 0x7
2008-01-15 09:24:43, Info DumpDiskInformation: The partition is of a recognized type
2008-01-15 09:24:43, Info DumpDiskInformation: Drive path [C:]

2008-01-15 09:24:43, Info DumpDiskInformation: Disk [0] partition [1] is an active partition
...
Which seems ok so far yet this is immediately followed by an unexpected error:
2008-01-15 09:24:43, Info IBSLIB GetSystemDiskNTPath: Unable to get required buffer size for system disk from BCD APIs; status = 0xc0000452
I am mentioning is as unexpected because it is not mentioned in any article I could find...
Can someone help me with this... ?

...I am not completely stuck with this problem because I still have my Windows XP X64 intact on another disk
(it is SCSI and thus intentionaly not seen by Vista setup so that vista does not mess with it)
However I do need to do some testing / development for Vista support...
(and unfortunately though it is 64 bit my hardware can't support running 64 bit virtual machines)
so I need to setup this on physical machine some day in near future...
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi
For this problem, I would like to share following suggestion:
1. Use supplemental drivers in WinPE phase to load the missing mass storage driver for the disk controller.
2. Update hardware firmware: BIOS, Disk controller and set the HD as the primary boot device.
3. Verify that BIOS has detected the disk properly.
4. For a dynamic disk with a simple volume, please convert it to the basic disk.
5. Run chkdsk.exe to check for problems with the target disk.
Hope this helps.
