Downloaded Windows from torrent is not so legall, at least be from MSDN or so... You need a bootable DVD to install Vista clean or on a dual boot.

As I see right now, you could get that HDD from another computer and attached to your computer... It was that way? I'm pretty sure you need to install Vista on the second HDD right now, to get what you want

How did you installed Vista on the second????

GioAguilar · Answer

Did you copied (cloned) the content of a HDD with Vista, and then connect that hard drive on the computer... That will not work
