Just put in your Vista DVD disk and then select "repair" option when you see the "install" page. Or when Vista boots up normally go into: "control panel > Administrative tools > computer management > storage > Disk management", in here you should be able to do a format of the partion that you need out of way. But please do a backup first.

Please post back if you have anymore problems or questions.
