When you try to install Windows Vista, you experience the following symptoms:

• In the Windows Vista installation program, you receive the following error message at the bottom of the Where do you want to install Windows? dialog box:
  

  This computer’s hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk’s controller is enabled in the computer’s BIOS menu.

  If you click a different drive in the Name list, the error message remains.

• If you click Next, you receive the following error message at the bottom of the Where do you want to install Windows? dialog box:
  

  Windows is unable to find a system volume that meets its criteria for installation.

Therefore, you cannot install Windows Vista.

This problem occurs if the following conditions are true:

• The computer contains multiple RAW hard disks.
• The hard disks are all the same size.

When you use Windows Photo Gallery or Windows Explorer in Windows Vista to edit the metadata for an image file that uses the RAW image format, the file may be corrupted. The problem only occurs if the image file uses the TIFF image standard and was copied to the computer from either of the following digital SLR camera models:

• Canon EOS 1D
• Canon EOS 1DS

For example, this problem may occur in the following scenario:

• In Windows Photo Gallery or in Windows Explorer, you right-click the image file, and then click Properties.
• You click the Details tab, and then you change the information in any of the listed fields.

In this scenario, the file is truncated and cannot be restored. The image file can no longer be viewed.

Note: The metadata of an image file includes the following items:

• title
• subject
• author
• date details
