My wife's computer had a similar issue. I found out that she was
booting to her hard drive on the old operating system, putting the
Vista disk in, and trying to over-write her Windows file from there. I
told her to boot to the Vista DVD and proceed with the installation
from there. To do this, go to your BIOS setup and make sure your DVD
is set before your hard drive on the boot priority screen. Once she
booted from the DVD, it installed like a champ.

Hope that helped.
