keyboard stopped working when I tried to install Vista the first time).
And went into BIOS and disabled the computer to boot from lan. ::

Insert your Vista DVD in drive (It doesn't matter, you are using x86 or
x64 DVD)
Boot from the DVD...Choose your Regional Settings and reach at *Setup
Screen (Install Now)*

Here click on *Repair your Computer*
Now it try to detect previous installation and will not find
anything...Click Continue to move *Recovery Tool Options*
Here click on *Command Prompt*

Now follow the guide to create partitions.
Type *Diskpart* and press ENTER - It launch DISKPART> Console

Execute *List Disk* - to check how much disk (with ID)has been attached
to your laptop including your Removable USB HDD and Flash drives too.

Lets assume your HDD ID is *0* - It requires to perform all
partitioning operations on the specific device.

Execute *Clean* - Erase your all previous partitions (GPT as well as
MBR based too)

Execute *Create partition primary size 153600* - Create your first
primary partition with size of 150GB (150x1024 MB)

Execute *Create partition extended* - Create extended partition of
remaining unallocated space. (Extended partition holds your rest of
logical drives)

Execute *Create partition logical -size XXXXX-* - specify size if
desired, other wise use "Create partition logical" without quote to
create logical drive with rest of disk space.

Now exit DISKPART console and restart installation.
Format the partitions during the installation and perform clean
installation of Windows Vista x86 or x64.

You should only make one partition, the 150GB(or whatever size that you want)
one that you want; format it and install Vista.
Once installed, go into vista disk management, and format the other
unallocated space from there.
