Pls provide the Hard Disk Controller driver/Sata Controller driver disk at the time of setup. Press F6(to specify sata/scsi controller driver) at the first face of setup and provide the driver floppy disk. I think u can fix the problem by using this solution

OK,,

I had an hp that was not build for nor would it support vista as per HP. I wipe the hard drive using MaxtorBlast4 software. With that you can write 0s to the HDrive. and it will be like a brand new H/Drive. mind you it will take some time. just let it d it's thing. at the end of that, place you vista OS in the CDROM. And be sure that the BIOS is set to boot from CD first. So place you Vista OS in the CDROM and press ctrl-Alt-delete to restart. When the OS is finish installing you would have to go to each manufacture of your hardware site to update you hardware drivers. It will take some time but it will work.
HP want to know how I did it.

Good luck.
Let me know about your progress please
Thx

Vista unable to install Futura software

check for your disk size!
try to check also for the software properties labeled on the CD especially its memory and disk allocation requirements!
it may also need you to connect the machine to the computer first before installing its software!
