Solved Problem with partitions when clean installing Vista

So I've been trying to clean install Vista HP 64 bit on my old computer by following this guide:
http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-vista.html

However, when I got to the part to choose which partition to install vista to, I deleted all existing partitions but there isn't an option to install to the unallocated space like this picture:

Instead I'm left with a blank window with no option to install to anything. Additionally, I can't create new partitions.

Anyone know what the problem could possibly be? Need help ASAP.
Thanks so much for the help!

Nevermind, figured it out, turned out the partitions were corrupt or something. Used the tool on the disc to fix it.
