installation partition

Hi, I'm trying to install Vista 64bit german version on the second primary partition of a p-ata disk. When I have to specify the installation partintion, the process stops and i get a message like "Windows may no bot into this partition". This is the same case for all partitions on my two insternal disks. Only my external, usb connected Disk would be accepted by the installtion routine. Does naybody have an idea, what happens??????????????

Sorry for the two threads, i got a error message and tried it again ...

This is the same case for all partitions on my two internal disks. Only the external, usb connected disk, would be accepted by the installation routine. Does anybody have an idea, what happens?
