What said that? The Vista installer? Is it an OEM disk from the PC vendor? Some of them are locked to specific hardware and do a check for the right hard drive.
It will install Windows then when it's done it says not compatible with this hardware. Then it uninstall Windows? It a Seagate 1 th hard drive. I can clone it and it works. But I wanted a clean install as I have same problem of corrupted master file table.

Try using Testdisk to repair the MFT http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/Advanced_NTFS_Boot_and_MFT_Repair
If that does not work you can get the Vista disks here http://www.raymond.cc/blog/how-to-burn-downloaded-windows-vista-to-dvd/ and use your license key to activate it.
