One week ago I bought a brand new HP note book (HP 530 notebook core duo processor) and I'm still unable to install Windows Vista on its harddisk. I was glad to buy the cheapest HP notebook with core duo processor, but I didn’t expect to not work.
During Win vista installation I always get an error that hard disk was not detected, however the harddisk is good because I succeeded to install Linux on this note book.
I got advised to add the HP drivers trying to edit the Windows Vista CD installation kit with a free software called Windows Vista setup editor vLite.
Since I'm not a 'computer person' I don't know how to work with vlite software or with any other Vista editor to edit or configure Windows Vista. Also I’m not sure that this is a real solution.
If anyone had the same problem, I would be glad to get a simpler solution to make my new notebook to work with Win Vista. Also, a CD with drivers was not included in laptop kit.

Nasty! An OS that doesn't recognize a HDD! I should steer clear of that!
