Do you have an Upgrade version of Vista? They are cheaper, but absolutely require a running Windows XP version on the Computer.
Other Versions (OEM and full Retail) should work after booting from DVD.

Did you check to see if your computer will run Vista before buying?
Here is the Vista Advisor which will check your computer for compatibility.

You say drive s not drive -- if you are messing with more than one hard drive, you will need help from someone more experienced than I.

Use the vista cd, reformat the drive with it and install from there.
