VISTA won't install on new machine.

I am trying a new install on a new machine. I have 2 WD 250 GB drives.
When VISTA installs it tells me the first drive is not recognized as
boot drive and won't load. I tried to install on second drive and get a
error message about a volume does not meet VISTA criteria (or something
like that)and won't install. These are both brand new drives. Both
drives are correctly identified in the BIOS. Any suggestion would be
appreciated.

VISTA, also affectionately known as 'The Suck Machine,' has a proprietary
partitioning system and must be the source for formatting the new drives.

the drive again
