installation failing

When I try to install, it gives me:
" You must make the following changes before installing Windows Close Windows installation and contact the device manufacturer for updated driver software for these devices: Your computer is not compatible with Windows Vista, so Windows Vista cannot be installed. "
Now this is a nice error, telling me exactly whats wrong </sarcasm>
Running the advisor tool tells me that I don't have a big enough HDD, which is true in terms of my C:\ drive only having a few GB free. However, I want to install Vista to my S:\ drive (20GB), but I can't get into the installer, to do anything.
Help appriciated and needed asap.
Thanks

Is S: an internal or external drive. If it is an external usb or firewire you cannot boot Vista from it.
