I did it! Not without a lot of fuss mind. The problem was I have 2 sata discs (which were on a raid 0 that I didn't want anymore) and they were plugged into sockets 1 & 3 on the motherboard. It was only after I plugged them into 2 & 4 that Vista recognised the hard drive and from there on it was plain sailing. I loaded up Vista as described and then again from within Vista and all is working fine
