The minimum partition size for Vista is 15 GB;) (Please dont ask why)
Either expand your partition size using third party softwares
(or) format the entire drive and partition from the beginning
Also remember Partitioning with NTFS File System is better than FAT 32

Vista require 20GB HDD Space and partition must be NTFS.
