Vista Installation

I own a ACER aspire SA80 which has suffered a complete hard drive failure(no
backup), I have installed a new Seagate SATA 250Gb HD, I am trying to install
Vista 32bit premium but get the same problem each time the install process
progresses beyond partiton selecton, the same message never seems to occur
but is always related to memory. "an attemtpt was made to write to read only
memory" or "memory_management" the "tech info code" also differs each time.
This is very frustrating, any assistance would be appreciated.

Have you installed the driver for the SATA controller?

Maybe this article will help:
