And each time (9.04) I get to step 4 and there is no drive or partition to install to. I have a 500Gig partitioned into C: and D: and a blank 160 gig that I want to install to. Any ideas?

I wish you would change your captcha program. I have a very hard time reading most of them !!! Other sites use this Captcha crapola but are much easier to read !! Do you ever loke at yours ??? I had to look at 6 to find one I could read. Most are very blurry !! Rick. I wish you would change your captcha program. I have a very hard time reading most of them !!!
