Install system VISTA format hard drive

I want to play Vista, I found a Chinese version of Ultimate, can not be activated can also experience 30 days, but can not install on the reserved partition when installing Vista, I am I have reserved a zone for Vista. What is going on? My hard drive should be no problem, this partition is very smooth.

Vista and XP are similar in many operations, but operations like installing a system are very different. In this case, it may be that this partition is not compatible with Vista. It cannot be installed on FAT32 partition and must be converted to NTFS format. Also, to properly configure a dynamic disk for use with Vista, for a dynamic disk with a simple volume, use the Diskpart.exe utility to configure the disk as an active disk. If you are installing Windows Vista as an upgrade, update the driver for your hard disk controller to the latest driver. If the disk format, configuration, and drivers are ok, you can run the Chkdsk.exe utility to check for disk problems. If the hard drive is damaged, it can only be replaced. In addition, the tools that come with the Vista installer must be cautious. Like the Diskpart.exe utility, the entire hard disk will be formatted after running. If you want to use this function, please backup the data on the hard disk first.
