Vista wont install after new build

Im trying to install Vista Home Prem. OEM on my system that i just built.
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600, Gigabyte p35cds3r, 4gb ram, Diamond HD3850 PCI
Express. Western Digital 120 GB Sata, Samsung SATA DVD/CDRW. I have tried
numerous times just to get Vista to boot to the install screen but have had
no luck. At First i kept getting the BOOTMGR is missing error, and was able
to get bootmgr on to the disk. Now the HDD is saying that windows is corrupt
and needs to be repaired, press any key. NOTHING HAPPENS, will not boot to CD
either my SATA or IDE CD-r. Replaced the mobo, same results. Please help

Hi,

If this OEM disk is from Dell, HP or some other brand, then it will not
install no matter what you try.

Have you tried returning the disk for a replacement from the place of
purchase?

Adam,

Where did you get the OEM installation disk from? What vendor? Computer
vendor OEMs are tied to the vendor's motherboard and will not install with
another motherboard.

Have a nice day.
