Vista - Installing Vista

I have a 120GB Sata drive and I am stuck in a loop.

The loop is
"launch repair, or start windows normally"

I have tried both. I have also did F8 and did safe mode, etc.

However I want to just clean it off & start over. I put the cd in, it
boots then it does "Copy setup files" The bar finishes, it goes to
another screen, and it just sits there, with the mouse....just sits
there for hours.

Any idea? I am willing to buy another HD just didn't want to if it's
not that.

Thanks!

Download and run the disk manufacturer's diagnostic utility. This will
tell you if the disk is faulty.

Also, you can test your system memory with Memtest
http://www.memtest.org/ if the disk is not defective.

is the last one bootable? I can't even get it to boot.

I will try to find the driver diagnosis. I see the drive in the BIOS.
