hitachi 7k200 not recognized in vista (ok in ubuntu!)

Hi,

Just installed this brand new 2.5 drive as secondary drive in my hp dv9051ea, running vista home premium
The drive is detected as a HTS722010K9SA00 (which it is) but its driver fails to install due to "incorrect parameter", so I can't use disk management to partition it and use it

after trying different methods to try to get it running (bios has already sata "enabled", btw) I popped the ubuntu 7.10 live cd I had and next thing you know I was installing this OS on this drive. I though this might make vista aware of it, but no, still can't install the driver on it

after a few hours of fiddling with it in ubuntu I can say that this drive is fully functioning
still I'd like to see it under vista...

any ideas ?
