    2 important things:

    Is it a legitimate version of vista and not pirated?

    and did you do a clean install or an "over the top" install where it overites your old OS and keeps your files?

    Arey yaar, I got the same lappy. DIdn't have problems installing vista(it was so fast). Try, a different vista DVD and use your key provided or try a different drive, check temp as others have suggested.
