And I cant figger out what I wrong I am using the old hard drive aswell so should I try installing the drivers on it first withmy old pc than pput it together? Any help much appreciated.

My first and honest sugestion is to not install vista.
I find it hard to even name any other problems when someone has vista, it is such a bad OS, and causas so manyb problems (fromn my experience with it) that i recommend strongly that noone uses it.

If all you did was move the hard drive from one motherboard to another then it's no surprise that it won't boot. You will need to, at the very least, perform a repair installation. If your old installation is OEM then you will also have to purchase a new copy as the OEM license does not allow for a motherboard change.
