*Deep Breath* Ok here goes.

So I have been up for about 4 hours past bedtime, currently 4:43Am in SEA, in efforts to solve an issue which I so stupidly handled.

One day Vista decided to display BOOTMGR is missing. So I inserted the installation Vista disc and tired to do a Repair first. Then it led me to System Recovery Options, saw nothing in this section (blank in the columns), and I clicked Next. After that I proceeded to a Startup Repair, then it shows that it cannot repair this computer automatically. Clicked dont send and proceeded to reinstall Vista using a Vista Home Basic 32-bit installation disc.

So, I went to Custom Installation since I cant upgrade it on that disc. Windowed showed me 3 different Participation. Labeled;
Disc 0 Unallocated Space (Total Size 47.0MB, Free Space 47.0MB)
Disc 0 Partition 1 (Total Size 108.7GB, Free Space 72.63GB)
Disc 0 Partition 2 (Total Size 3.0GB, Free Space 0GB)

So I tried to install into the Disc Participation with the biggest space but it was unable to find a system volume that met its criteria for installation. Then I proceeded to be a smart ass and formatted all the Partitions.

It's been 5 hours now please. I beg all of you to lend a hand to a brother in dire need. Help me senpai.
