Of course, if you choose to "boot the installation with the installation CD", your upgrade is not available.
8, the following can be set up the installation partition. If you install Windows Vista, you need a clean large-capacity partition, otherwise the partition capacity will become very tight after installation. It is important to note that Windows Vista can only be installed under NTFS format partitions, and the remaining space of the partition must be greater than 8G. If you use some of the less common storage subsystems, such as SCSI, RAID, or special SATA hard drives, the installer does not recognize your hard drive, then you need to provide the drivers here. Click the "Load Driver" icon and follow the on-screen prompts to provide the driver to continue. Of course, after installing the driver, you may also need to click the "Refresh" button to have the installer search for the hard drive again.

At this point you can click the "Drive Options (Advanced)" button to create a new partition or delete an existing partition (if it is an old hard drive).
