If you are installing a total new drive you will not have anything to back up except all of your personal data on old drive you might need to see if if your computer is compatible with vista it requires a lot more than xp 1 GHz 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor 1 GB of system memory 40 GB hard drive with at least 15 GB of available space Support for DirectX 9 graphics with: WDDM Driver 128 MB of graphics memory (minimum) Pixel Shader 2.0 in hardware 32 bits per pixel DVD-ROM drive Audio Output Internet access
