Cannot create folder "_vti_pvt"

Hi gang,

I'm trying to create a new website. Here is my procedure
1) create the folder
2) In IIS I right click the server and select "New->site"
3) I create a new site and point it at the newly created directory

everything seems OK at this point

4) I then right click the new site and select "all tasks->configure
server extenstions"
I then work by way through the "Server extensions Configuration"
wizard

I take the defaults for "group names", and the web administrator group
(Administrators). I specify that I will defer configuring mail server
settings and click "finish".

the wizard issues the following error: "Cannot create folder _vti_pvt"

can anyone suggest how to resolve this?

thanks!
