Unable to locate drive

I partitioned my SATA drive using Norton Partition Magic. I have XP Pro w/SP2 on the main partition and I tried installing Vista Beta on the other part. In the beginning of the setup I get an error message that says: Setup was unable to locate a locally attached hard drive suitable for holding temporary setup files. Does anyone have any help? Should I put in a standard IDE HDD? Does Vista not support SATA drives? Please help.
Thanks.
Kyle Clarke
