After reading this article, I think my problem is with Windows Vista. It basically says you need to make special partitions before Windows Vista will install and function properly. Since I can't access my hard drive to make these partitions, and I don't know how to do it anyway, I think I will buy Windows 8 and give it a try.
Unified Extended Firmware Interface support in Windows Vista
Here is the most important paragraph of the article:
A UEFI-based system requires a separate EFI system partition (ESP). We recommend that BIOS systems also use a separate system partition so that Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 features such as BitLocker Drive Encryption function correctly. Use of separate EFI and BIOS system partitions will also enable a smoother transition to EFI systems. For SysPrep migration between EFI and BIOS systems, Windows state should not be maintained on the system partition.
Any thought or comments?
