Bill Gates Has Done It Again!!!!! GRRRR!

Hello, I recently bought a brand new hp pavilion media center desktop pc.........(with damn vista installed, wish I had a choice).......It was all fun and games when, I came to find out that the essential reason that I even bought the damn thing was not allowing me to fufill that task........(again damn Vista!!!!) so long story short I created a partition to dual boot windows xp along side my crappy vista os, had to configure my sata into an ide, ran, installed, and boot into xp, went to the internet to download vista boot pro.....and I do not have any freakin internet connection?! Downloaded it through my dowstairs computer, sent it to a flash drive transferred to my upstairs..."A .NET Framework 2.0 is needed" AAAHHHRRRGGG!!!!! So as of right this moment I have a 1200$ POS sittin in my bedrooom......Suggestions? Anyone? Any advice would give me comfort, thanks in advance
