Boot the PC with the Vista DVD in the drive and start setup that way.
Choose to do a custom install. During this process you will be presented
with a screen where you can choose the partition on which to install Vista.
Select the existing partition that has XP and delete it. Then choose the
free space created by the deletion as the location on which to install
Vista.
