Without information about your computer and what drives you are trying to install Vista onto it is not possible to help. If you are trying to upgrade XP on the only partition on your primary home computer, don't do it.

I have XP Home Installed on the Sata Drive, I have removed the Sata, and left the IDE in with No Data, and I get windows Stop errors trying to install Vista on it, so I decided to try popping Vista over my home edition since I'm sure i can recover back, and theres no inportant data on the system right now
