Yes, you can. You need to have at least two logical or primary partitions. If you want don't complicate the process install the xp first one of the partitions and then vista on another one.
Yes, you can but you have to check the hardware part of your computer. Also you need the upgrade version to keep your files and programs, otherwise you have to format.
You have to create at least one more partition for Vista. If you install Vista on the partition where XP is installed Vista will delete XP. To avoid such problem you have to have one more partition. When you do that just start the Vista installation process from XP and choose just created partition for Vista.
You cannot format the drive / partition that Windows Vista is currently running on while it is running. You will need to boot from either a partition utility disc, such as GParted, or the install disc of the operating system you want to install, and format the drive from there.
you can't, sorry it doesn't allow it you can install Linux distributions on usb though :D

If you upgrade the system through the windows 7 installation menu, it's supposed to keep everything. If you do a fresh install, all your data on the system disk will be lost.
Yes, install Windows first, then whichever distribution of Linux you want second.
There are a few safety concerns to keep in mind with a Windows Vista download. You want to be sure that what you are downloading is correct and non-corrupted. You also have to be careful to not end up with a virus.

You right-click on your taskbar and then click on properties. Then you un-select 'Keep the taskbar on top of other windows'.
Can anyone tell me what this "downgrade" rights really means? Does it really mean If I have a computer with pre-installed Vista Home and I install a full copy of XP (purchased separately and after Vista Home) I am not "allowed" to have them on the same computer and dual boot and/or simply overwrite Vista Home and install XP. And if I do it anyway they will deactivate both copies of Windows? That doesn't seem right I should have to buy an upgrade to Vista Ultimate just so I can reformat my hard drive and replace it with XP (what a waste of money) to keep them from deactivating my new copy of XP.
Yes, absolutely, you can install a Windows 7 Ultimate on a computer running XP or Vista. This process is commonly known as a dual-boot and would be a great solution if you wanted to keep both operating systems on the same machine. However, please note that depending on your system, you may need to make changes to your hard drive in order to make this process possible.
