Default Windows XP PRO upgrade to Vista Business

,When trying to upgrade to Vista Business the installation procedure only
allows me to save on 'H' NTFS Primary drive of 8MB capacity, I have other
drives with totally unused or sufficient capacity to upgrade to Vista
Business.

Windows Vista Upgrade will not allow me to change the drive letter.

I do have a 200GB unformatted logical drive partition on my computer's hard
drive

I do have a portable hard drive of 200GB.

Please can anyone advise how to overcome this without reformatting my
computer's hard drive.

I look forward to receiving advice on this.

Regards

Check the packaging.
I think 'upgrade' means to upgrade from a current qualifying operating
system installation to the new OS. If the only current qualifying OS is on
the 8MB partition, then that is the only place the upgrade can occur. You
can't upgrade into a new empty partition.
