I think You need a SATA HDD to install windows vista.

Dear Member,
All of the first, you have to check the ide harddisk with chkdsk command from dos prompt
the vista installation will be succeed

NO.

@saurav It seems a hardware problem and not a Vista problem. Remove any add-on card and then try; if still fails try replacing RAM.

First and foremost, run Vista Upgrade Advisor.*www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-vista/get/upgrade-advisor.aspx

It's not a good idea to install it on an 80gig HDD. It will consume 25% of disc space in a month. Stick to XP for now.
