        If the Vista machine came with it installed you may want to investigate whether there is a recovery partition on there...

        What do you want?
        You already have XP Pro on a better machine.
        That is about as good as it gets.
        Putting VISTA on it does not make it better.
        Unless you like AERO.

        But you can boot a live Ubuntu CD and bring up some cool
        graphics and pretend it is the Vista Aero
