Is the Windows Vista install routine good for creating multiple partitions
and formatting .. or should I use a WinXP disc beforehand .. thanks
 
Never tried, but here are some recommendations for creating partitions:
How do I create a logical partition to install Windows Vista on?

You need to use partitioning software such as Symantec Partition Magic 8
(full version) to do this.

I used Hard Disk Manager 6.0 which is free in July 2006 Computer Shopper
magazine. Made a new partition, when It reboots it started with a blank
black screen saying something about nor recognising a partition table, then I
just switched it off stuck in the DVD with the Vista ISO in it and rebooted,
magically the Vista installed without a hitch in about an hour.

Npw when I reboot there is a choice of microsoft windows or an earlier
version of windows.
