total wipe of HD before installing Vista?

I have a Compaq Presario V5305WM notebook PC I purchased on Nov 3rd 2006

I obtained the FREE copy of Windows Vista

but what I am wanting to know is

can I wipe my Hard Drive clean, and then boot with the Vista CD and install that way?

like u could with XP

is this possible with WIndows Vista Home Premium?

since I got it free of charge, from WIndows XP Media Center, I am not sure if what I got is the upgrade or full version, I have no clue

thanks
