put the disk in,set the bios to boot from the cd.tell it to save the setting,then every thing is self explaining.
When first getting any new build together especially with a brand new hard drive you first have to partition and format the hard drive according to the one or more OSs you plan to run, how many partitions, drives will be installed for multiple OSs or simply seeing a storage partition or drive as well as the OS/boot drive.
For the new version you will at least need a cd/dvd combo drive if not a dvd burner in order to boot from the Vista installation dvd. Former versions being smaller in size came on cd-rs. Depending on which edition whether 32 or 64bit you will want a good 2gb of memory installed on the new build. Many run 3 or 4gb for the 32bit editions and even go with more for a 64bit.
The Vista dvd will see the drive tools needed there if you are unfamiliar with partitioning tools. The installer itself will automatically format the primary you first have to see created in order to copy the setup files onto the drive selected. With more then one partition Windows installs to the first.
