You can repartition your drive and add yet another partition for your Vista installation. Then you can install the Vista on that your new partition to begin working in the dual-boot mode. Don't forget and do not install Windows XP after installing Windows Vista or Windows XP will overwrite Vista bootfiles and you will need to use fixboot. You can run Vista for free within the 30-day period without activation if you will not put your key during the setup.

That's how I installed my upgrade version. Been using Vista for 2 months now, no problems.
