Just put the vista CD and boot from that, then partition all your drives from the OC installation menu.

Do you have the reformat CD that came with the computer, or another XP CD? If you do, you'll have to reinstall XP, and then install Vista.

Then you'll have to install the OS that was on it before you deleted it then install the Vista upgrade.
