If activated upgrade to Vista, what are recovery options?

I did a (non-clean) upgrade from XP to Vista, and find that Vista is hanging
and crashing a lot. I'm not sure how much of this is bugginess of Vista
itself and how much is the problems of non-clean upgrades. If this gets any
worse I'll need to start again. Since I've already activated my copy of
Vista, what are my options?

Do I need to do a recovery install of XP first, and can I even do a recovery
install of XP if I used my copy of XP for the upgrade?

Can I do a clean installation using my current Vista installation?

Does a clean installation wipe out just Windows or wipe out all information
on the hard drive?
