Have heard lots of "horror" stories on this...

Do yourself a favor: hard drives are cheap. Get another drive (a 20 gig will
do if money is an issue) and put Vista on it. Go into your BIOS and
*disable* the controller of your primary drive before installing (and while
using) Vista. If you have to transfer stuff from your XP hard drive, do it
via CD/DVD burner or flash drive. It'll save alot of headaches.
