Do NOT wipe out the Windows XP system that you are relying on. Vista is a BETA TEST WITH KNOWN DEFECTS and is not reliable enough to use for anything more than testing!
What you probably want to do is install Vista on a different hard disk, or a different disk partition, than XP. My understanding is that it comes with a utility that will let you choose between one and the other.
