Windows Vista installation program,opens a blank window when I have to chose
the installation destination,it allows to choose the advanced options but
they are grey and unselectable.I should probably load drivers for my HD but
it seems strange to me because I already have installed th Windows Xp
platform on the same HD!!!

It sounds like you need drivers for a SATA controller. Even though the XP
drivers may work you will have to load them again during the Vista install
procedure. Vista will not copy them from the existing XP install.
