no cause all the while I'm using xp . xp can format direct from the os cd.so all the while i formatted my hard disk direct from my os cd.
after that i install my newly vista .this is why i do not have any boot able disk .

but how come start from xp , all the while they don't need a start up disk but now needs?

Vista CAN do full format, but you have to choose Advanced (maybe it isn't Advanced but something similar, it is located in the part where you choose on which hard you are installing) while installing it. The best thing for you would be full format, but you will have to backup all of the files you don't want to lose.
The reason why are you getting different options than the ones I mentioned is because you try to upgrade your system and you are doing it in Windows and to get the options I mentioned you should do it from the BIOS. You have to setup the first boot device to CD/DVD Rom and then it will load Windows Vista from DVD.
Happy mylotting! I hope this will solve your problem!
