That sounds like it should but it doesn't. Been there, done that. It might if it was only 1 partition. I went back to XP and took a ss of my drives in Disk Management. Please noticed how they are labeled. My XP install is showing C:\ and is labled as a System drive by XP. Then notice how the Vista drive is labeled "Active" as is the 4g flash drive that Vista uses for ReadyBoost. I fought this same thing for almost 3 hours until I changed the partition to Active. Then Vista installed fine.
