Problem installing Vista on a new build - BOOTMGR missing

[fetster]

I have just finished building a new system (ASUS M3A78 board, AM2 Processor, SATA HDD etc) and got part way through the installation of Windows Vista Ultimate but I got an error and had to abort the install.

Windows has installed files on X (which i think is the installation drive it sets up) but I can not access C:

When i try and boot from HDD i get 'BOOTMGR is missing' and have to restart. When i boot from CD first, the HDD is not picked up by the installation.

Any advice on how to rectify this problem?

Many thanks
